Local election officials in Marathon County have finalized the ballot order of candidates for the spring election 2024 and the placement for primaries where required.

The ballot order has been determined after lots were drawn for seats that have at least two candidates in the race.

Primaries will be required for the mayoral race and one district each for the Wausau City Council and the Marathon County Board of Supervisors. No primaries will be needed for three area school board races.

Christopher Wood, incumbent Katie Rosenberg and the city’s Dist. 4 Alder Doug Diny are vying to be Wausau’s next mayor.

Requiring a primary, former Wausau alder Tom Neal, Debra Weiss and Vylius Leskys are vying to represent Dist. 4 on the City Council. Likewise, incumbent county supervisor Joel Straub, former supervisor and current Wausau Economic Development Manager Randy Fifrick and Kronenwetter Village Board Trustee Alexander Vedvik are in the race to represent Dist. 15 on the county board.

Primaries are scheduled for Tuesday Feb. 20 and the election is on Tuesday, April 2.

The revised lists do not include the names of candidates who have either withdrawn or who lost ballot access after challenges were filed.
