Voters head to the polls today in Wisconsin, deciding on everything from presidential candidates to school board members.
The ballot features both the Republican and Democratic primaries, as well as races for seats on the state supreme court and court of appeals.
Regardless of which party's presidential primary a voter participates in, the choices on the remainder of the ballot remain the same.
In Iron County, all 15 seats on the county board will be on the ballot.
The city of Hurley will also elect its mayor and six-member city council, as well as two seats on the Hurley School Board.
The city of Montreal also has a mayoral election on the ballot, as well as two of its city council seats.
In the town of Mercer, voters will elect two members of the town board, as well as two board members of the Mercer Area School District Board of Education.
Voters in the town of Sherman will vote on three seats, including two with write-in candidates, on the Chequamegon School Board.
Voters participating in Tuesday's election will have to show photo identification to vote, according to a recent change in state law.
Among the forms of identification that allow one to vote include any Wisconsin Department of Transportation-issued driver license or identification card, according to information from the state's Government Accountability Board, as well as military IDs or a U.S. passport.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
