Polling places in Dodge County will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to county election officials. Some of the smaller township precincts may have a 10 a.m. opening time.

Absentee ballots are available at the Dodge County Government Services Building during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for the remainder of this week. Absentee voting can also be done on Saturday, August 6, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and again until 5 p.m. on Monday, August 8.
