Vote Center
Election Alert! The Spring General Election is on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. On the statewide ballot is the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Superintendent of Public Instruction. There are also other local and judicial offices (e.g., county executives, county supervisors, circuit court judges, and municipal judges). Furthermore, there is a statewide constitutional amendment that, if passed, would enshrine Wisconsin's restrictive voter ID law into our state constitution. We are urging voters to Vote NO on this proposed amendment to protect voting rights in Wisconsin. Learn more about what is on your ballot at myvote.wi.gov.
Skip the line and vote early!
