May 2012

At least 90,000 absentee ballots have been issued by election clerks across Wisconsin in advance of the June 5 recall targeting Gov. Scott Walker and five others.

That is far above the 68,000 that were issued before the May 8 recall primary. About 230,000 absentee ballots were returned in the 2010 governor’s race.

The numbers released Wednesday by the Government Accountability Board include absentee ballots that will be sent back in mail as well as those voters fill out in person.
