The Government Accountability Board released official numbers Monday regarding voter turnout in Wisconsin for the Nov. 4 election.
According to a statement from the GAB, 69 percent of the Wisconsin voting-age population cast a ballot in the recent election, adding up to 2,983,417 voters. The 2004 general election saw a larger turnout of 73 percent.
Days after the election, officials speculated a turnout of around 70 percent but could not confirm it until data was collected and results were finalized.
Most voters likely believe the election is finished on Election Day, but some of the most important work takes place afterward,"" GAB Director Kevin Kennedy said in a statement.
Judge William Eich of the GAB certified the election results Monday, which involved the results of recounts for two state Legislative races.
According to Nat Robinson, administrator of the elections division, finalizing results has been ""a relatively smooth process.
