The Brown County Clerk’s Office is reminding voters that all polling places in Wisconsin close at 8 p.m. Tuesday night. However, voters who are still in line at the time the polls close must be permitted to vote.
Below is a statement from Green Bay's mayor regarding Tuesday's election:
The Brown County Clerk’s Office said in a news release that when polls close, the chief inspector officially announces the closing of the polls. Then, a person designated as the End of Line Officer stands behind the last voter in line at 8 p.m. to clearly identify who is entitled to vote. The End of Line Officer may be an election inspector, election registration official, employee of the clerk or police officer.
The doors to the polling place must NOT be locked, the Clerk's Office says. Anyone, including a candidate, has the right to observe the end of night activities such as reconciling poll lists, counting ballots and the completion of forms.
