MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — Ten days after the Nov. 3 midterm election, Milwaukee County officials certified the county's election results Friday.

The Milwaukee County Board of Canvassers completed its review of the results and signed certificates of election for county-level races.

Results for state and federal contests are forwarded to the Wisconsin Elections Commission as part of the state's certification process. The chair of the commission is responsible for completing the state canvass and certifying those results.

Milwaukee County reported 360,182 ballots cast among 510,277 registered voters in the election, a turnout rate of 70.59%.

That was slightly higher than turnout during the previous midterm election in 2022, when Milwaukee County reported a turnout rate of 68.8%.

Election night results in Wisconsin are considered unofficial until the canvassing and certification process is completed at the appropriate municipal, county and state levels.
