High voter turnout leads to long lines in Stevens Point

Voters in Stevens Point experienced long wait times, some exceeding two hours, during Tuesday's election. Chief Election Inspector Caitlin Carmody attributed the delays to high voter turnout and same-day registration requirements, particularly among college students at the UW-Stevens Point campus. Despite the extended wait at the Dreyfus University Center, which lasted until 10:30 p.m., officials noted that voter spirits remained high throughout the process.
