Green County Partisan Primary Election Results Reporting Delayed Due to Server Issue
Green County experienced a server issue that impacted the timely reporting of election results following yesterday’s election.
Around 9 PM, the Green County Clerk’s Office became aware of an issue impacting the reporting of unofficial election night results. In working with the county's election equipment vendor, Liberty Vote, it was determined that the County’s server equipment and results reporting program were not properly communicating with one another. As a result, transmitted results were contained in encrypted files that County staff were unable to access or open for reporting.
Once it was determined that the issue would not be resolved in a timely manner and we would not be able to access the unofficial transmitted results on election night, Green County staff pivoted and began contacting municipal clerks in an effort to manually obtain and load results to the County’s website. As of 11:30 AM local time on 8/12/26, all unofficial results have been received from municipalities and loaded into the reporting system and subsequently the unofficial results with 100% of precincts reporting has been posted to the county’s website: https://www.greencountywi.org/DocumentCenter/View/4488/PARTIAL-UNOFFICIAL-RESULTS--8-11-2026---updated-8-12-2026?bidId=
Green County understands the importance of timely and accurate election results and sincerely apologizes for the delay and any inconveniences this reporting issue may have caused. The County Clerk is committed to ensuring this issue does not occur again and assures voters that the delay in reporting does not indicate a problem with the election itself or the votes cast by Green County voters.
“We take the responsibility of protecting and accurately reporting the votes of Green County voters very seriously,” said Green County Clerk Arianna Voegeli. “Our staff, municipal clerks, and election technology vendor are working diligently to resolve this issue and put contingency steps into place to ensure that this does not happen again in the November General Election.”
