Tomorrow is Election Day for the August primary! Are you ready? On the City Cast Madison podcast today, host Bianca Martin and producer Jade Iseri-Ramos take a deep dive into Tuesday’s election.

They talk about who’s running statewide and in Madison, and tell you everything you need to know in order to vote Tuesday, including polling location hours, what you need to register at the polls, and how to return an absentee ballot. Don't forget, you can also find your ballot, polling, and more election information at the MyVote Wisconsin website.

Bianca also revisits clips from our interviews with five of the candidates for governor (the only one who didn’t come on the show was Tom Tiffany – there’s still time, Tom!) If those clips whet your appetite, here are links to our full interviews. Listen to them all, and then make a plan to vote!
