In the November 2024 general election, Waukesha County reported approximately 71-73% voter turnout with roughly 295,000 registered voters and over 210,000 ballots cast, reflecting Wisconsin's status as a key swing state in the presidential election. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, voters here and throughout Waukesha County will decide several significant races. The 2026 Wisconsin gubernatorial election will be on the ballot, with Governor Tony Evers' term expiring (if he runs for re-election, this will be a contested race). All 99 Wisconsin State Assembly seats and 17 odd-numbered State Senate seats will be up for election; residents vote for representatives in their specific legislative districts (currently portions of the town fall within Assembly Districts and Senate districts that should be verified at MyVote Wisconsin). The U.S. Senate seat currently held by Ron Johnson (Class III) is not up in 2026; the next Wisconsin U.S. Senate election will be in 2028. The county will also elect county-level positions including County Executive, County Board Supervisors, Sheriff, Clerk of Circuit Court, District Attorney, Register of Deeds, County Clerk, and Treasurer, depending on term schedules. Local voters may also decide on town offices if 2026 includes town elections, and state-level or local referenda may appear. Wisconsin allows absentee voting both by mail and in-person.
