Kenosha County Clerk Regi Waligora would like to remind voters that the Aug. 11, 2026 election is partisan.

With , Kenosha County Clerk  is reminding voters they must select candidates from only one political party.
This restriction is of particular interest in the August primary, as the ballot includes a race for Kenosha County sheriff that involves three Republican candidates and no Democratic or other party candidates. Meanwhile, the open race for governor includes a closely watched Democratic primary.
Voters have the option to select a party preference, meaning only votes cast under that party will be counted. If a voter does not indicate a party preference and casts votes for candidates in multiple parties, no votes will be counted. Voters who choose a party preference must still vote for individual candidates.
