Election day is Tuesday, April 7. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a shortage of poll workers, the City of Milwaukee has indicated it will need to greatly consolidate polling locations to less than 12 sites instead of the typical 180 sites. HACM strongly encourages everyone to vote by absentee or vote early to minimize crowds at the polls on election day.
