For the first time since 1946, partisan primaries, typically held in September, will be held in August. Early voting occurs at Village Hall from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday until Aug. 10.
Early and in-person absentee voting began in Shorewood Monday for partisan primaries. Early voting takes place at Village Hall, 3930 N. Murray Ave., from 8 a.m to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, until Aug. 10, the Friday before the primary. For the first time since 1946, the "Partisan Primary" will be held in August. That change comes with the enacting of Act 75, which relates to the requirements of the Federal M.O.V.E Act ensuring that all military and overseas electors have ample time to receive and return absentee ballots.

Kevin Kennedy, GAB director, said in a statement confusion about crossover …

Two polls released this week show political newcomer Eric Hovde leading the Republican field of U.S. Senate candidates in one and coming in second to former Gov. Tommy Thompson in another.

The Marquette University Law School poll results released Wednesday still have Thompson in the lead among likely GOP primary voters with 35 percent to Hovde's 23 percent. In June, the same poll had Thompson at 34 percent and Hovde at 14 percent. GOP candidate Mark Neumann comes in at 10 percent, down from 16 percent in June, while candidate Scott Fitzgerald dropped from 10 percent to 6 percent. The Marquette poll was released one day after a Public Policy Polling survey showed Hovde leading Thompson, 31 percent to 29 percent. Against Baldwin in the November election, Hovde …
