VOTE "NO" ON THE BACK OF YOUR BALLOT
This November, there will be another harmful and divisive constitutional amendment proposal in the form of a referendum question on your ballot. Our voting rights are literally on the line. The amendment proposal will make it harder for Wisconsinites to cast a ballot and may lead to voter suppression laws like proof of citizenship and stricter photo ID. Vote NO to protect the right to vote for ALL Wisconsinites!
