Wisconsin voters may participate in either party’s presidential primary as well as vote on the fate of two Republican-backed state constitutional amendments related to election administration. Judicial and local offices will also be on the ballot.
Two weeks of early voting were offered, as well as no-excuse vote by mail. As of Monday, more than 260,000 voters had already cast a ballot.
Question 1: Prohibit Private Funding of Elections
Voters decided to amend the state Constitution to ban private funding of elections, part of a national backlash to donations that Mark Zuckerberg made to election offices in 2020. The amendment was proposed by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature.
