People in Neenah were voting at an interesting place yesterday — the former Shopko store in the city.
Mayor Dean Kaufert thinks things turned out great, with plenty of room for social distancing. The city moved all of its polling locations to the building off I-41.
He says they had color-coded paths for voters to follow, to go to the correct tables to sign in and get their ballot.
They also offered curbside voting, if people wanted to stay in their car.
Kaufert announced more than a week earlier that the city was building plexiglass shields to separate voters and poll workers. He tells Focus Fox Valley that 14 other communities reached out to ask for the design.
There was the potential for a bigger-than-normal turnout in Neenah, because the school district had a building referendum on the ballot.
