Northside wards saw a 7% increase in voter turnout between the 2016 and 2020 November elections, slightly more than Madison’s 5.5% turnout increase.
The map to the right is a snapshot of the Madison City Clerk’s interactive online polling place map. When calculating data for the Northside, we included the City of Madison wards listed in the table below, as well as the Village of Maple Bluff. Large portions of Wards 28 and 29 include neighborhoods that fall outside of what we typically consider to be Northside boundaries. We included them in the overall Northside data because those wards are impacted by many of the same local issues and share local elected officials with the rest of the Northside.
Votes for presidential candidates were tallied from Dane County data. Voter turnout data came from the City of Madison unless otherwise noted. Northside turnout totals came from a combination of Madison and Dane County data.
