City Council — August 18, 2026
Because of the county executive special election, all city voting on November 17 (if a primary) and December 15 will be at City Hall only — expected ~6,500 voters.
Ordinance & License Committee — August 10, 2026
Because of the vacancy in the Waukesha County Executive office after Paul Farrow's passing, special elections are set for November 17 and December 15, 2026. Several polling places aren't available those days, so all city voting would move to City Hall. Staff will hand out flyers at the November 3 general election to keep voters from getting confused about where to vote.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
