Badger Book E-Pollbooks are making their way to the Village of Whitefish Bay! Join Village Clerk Jaimie and Deputy Clerk Erin for an open house to view and test the Badger Books on Monday, August 1 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. with a presentation and Q&A to follow from 5:00 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
The Badger Book software was created with direct integration into the Wisconsin Voting System (WisVote). Badger Books do not use an internet connection. The Badger Book is primarily used to check in voters, process absentee ballots, and register voters on Election Day. Badger Books replace the current two-person, paper poll book system with a one-person tablet that replicates the poll book. You will still be required to present photo ID and sign your name on the new electronic tablet.
For more information on the electronic poll books you will see at your polling place this fall, please check out this video provided by the Wisconsin Elections Commission:
