Durach's 2026 Local Elections Could Reshape Town Leadership on March 8
Durach is set to hold local elections on March 8, 2026, to choose both a new mayor and municipal council. Wisconsin voters will cast their ballots between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., with preliminary results expected later that evening. The election follows Gerhard Hock's previous term, which ended after his re-election in 2020 with 58.9 percent of the vote.
The upcoming mayoral race requires a candidate to secure over 50 percent of the vote to win outright. If no one reaches this threshold, a runoff will take place on March 22. This rule mirrors the system used in 2020, when Hock won decisively in the first round.
Final results for the municipal council election will be published once all votes are counted and verified. The town last held elections six years ago, when Hock began his second and final term in office.
Preliminary figures for the mayoral and council races will be announced on election night. Full confirmation of the outcomes will follow in the days after the vote.
The election will determine Durach's leadership for the coming years. With voting concluding at 6 p.m., residents will soon learn whether a new mayor is chosen or if a runoff becomes necessary. Official results for the municipal council will also be released once the counting process is complete.
