(The Center Square) – Wisconsin has seen 305,000 absentee ballots returned heading into the final two weeks before the election.

In-person absentee voting begins Tuesday and runs through Nov. 3 at sites throughout the state. Voters can register in person at their local municipality and need to show valid identification to receive an absentee ballot.

The deadline for online and mail voter registration has passed.

Wisconsin provides information on in-person absentee voting based upon address on its MyVote site.

An updated list of ballot drop boxes shows that 107 drop boxes are in use throughout the state that have been reported to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, up from 78 that were listed a week ago.

That includes 14 in Madison, 14 in Milwaukee and seven in Racine.

There were 500 drop boxes in use for the 2020 presidential election during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Wisconsin has sent out 586,616 absentee ballots of the 593,550 requested through Friday with 305,344 already returned.
