On Tuesday, February 20, Milwaukee will vote in the 2024 Spring Primary. It’s a relatively quiet and straightforward election, but hey, vote anyway! It’s fun! Use the invaluable MyVote Wisconsin to find out where to vote, how to register to vote, and what will appear on your ballot.

Only one competitive race will appear on all Milwaukee ballots, a primary for Milwaukee Mayor. After that, there are three primary races for Milwaukee alderperson, and one primary race for Milwaukee County supervisor. The top two vote-getters in each race will move on to the 2024 General Election on Tuesday, April 2. (Non-competitive races with two candidates or fewer may appear on your ballot, too.)

Here’s a super-simple voting guide to the races that will feature more than two candidates. Vote, Milwaukee!
