Public Test of Election Equipment
On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, workers in the Village of Neshkoro will conduct open-to-the-public pre-election testing of voting equipment at the Neshkoro Village Hall at 10:00 am.
The testing provides an additional way to ensure that voting machines are working properly, and that the election will be conducted accurately.
By state law, a pre-election test of voting equipment occurs before every election and in every municipality across Wisconsin. In the public tests, voting machine programming is verified by feeding a set of pre-marked ballots into each machine and reviewing the results tape that is generated. An errorless count is required at the conclusion of the testing. According to Wis. Stat. 5.84(1), any anomalies identified in testing must be remedied before the equipment can be used in an election.
