Here's where you can find Wisconsin election results for the Nov. 5, 2024 election — including president, U.S. Senate and House, citizenhip referendum question, state Senate and Assembly, and Milwaukee-area races. It may take a while before we know the results of key races. In Wisconsin, absentee ballots can’t be tallied until the polls open on Election Day, which means those results could take a while to be counted.
