Votebeat: Can Wisconsin voters void a returned absentee ballot? Issue could head back to court

Bryna Godar 07.21.26

"Wisconsin election officials may reignite a legal battle over absentee voting with a July guidance stating that voters cannot void a returned absentee ballot and cast a new one, even if Election Day is weeks away or the candidate they supported has dropped out. It’s the latest development in a legal dispute that began in 2022 and was reopened by an appeals court decision earlier this year."
