Thursday, November 10th, 2022 -- 11:00 AM

(Bob Hague, WRN) -Wisconsin Elections Administrator Megan Wolfe says once municipalities around the state have finished canvassing their vote totals, Wisconsin’s 72 counties will complete their canvass.

“The county canvass is another way that the results are verified at the county level. So again, they're going through those checks and verifications as part of a public process. After the county canvass is complete. If there is a contest that's within the recount margin, then the aggrieved candidate is also able to request a recount.”

If there are no recounts requested, the chair of the Wisconsin Elections Commission will certify statewide results. That process must be completed no later than December 1st.
