Badger Book
Wisconsin's Electronic Poll Book
In 2017, Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) staff developed an electronic poll book system to be used in polling places in Wisconsin on Election Day.
Enabled by Wis. Stat. § 6.79(1m), the Badger Book is the only electronic poll book authorized for use in Wisconsin elections. Within each polling place, Badger Books are connected securely to communicate with each other. They do not connect to the internet or any other network outside the polling place.
Some Kenosha County municipalities have used badger books in previous elections, and some will be using them starting in the 2022 election cycle.
