12:02 PM: GAB projects low primary turnout
The Government Accountability Board expects between 6 percent and 10 percent of state voters to turn out for Tuesday's primary election.
The only statewide race on the primary is a five-way contest for superintendent of Public Instruction. The current state schools superintendent, Elizabeth Burmaster, opted out of a re-election run.
Eight years ago, the last time there wasn't an incumbent running for the job, turnout was 6.5 percent.
Polls open at 7 a.m tomorrow. Find your polling place: https://vpa.wi.gov/
