It’s Election Day today with federal, state and county partisan offices on the ballot.

- The 32nd Assembly District where incumbent state Rep. Tyler August (R-Lake Geneva) is being challenged by Kim M. Peterson (D-Spring Prairie). Wheatland is in the 32nd District.
- County Register of Deeds will see Democrat JoEllyn Storz of Kenosha facing Republican Deborah Vos of Wheatland. The other partisan county offices are uncontested.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Salem will be using both the Town Hall and Wilmot Fire Station polling places. Twin Lakes voting will be at Lakewood School. All other polling places are in their typical locations. A complete list of polling places is available here.
