Polls are open today, Tuesday, August 11, in the partisan primary election. Polls will be open 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.

Our democracy is strongest when working people get out and make our voices heard at the polls. We are fighting for an economy that works for all of us and a Wisconsin with strong unions and collective bargaining rights so that everyone who works hard can get ahead and make ends meet. People want leaders who will stand up for us, focus on the issues we care most about, deliver real solutions that support working people and protect our democracy.
