Wisconsin to See Election Regulation Changes in 2026

Wisconsin’s biggest new election law is a change that allows candidates to remove themselves from the ballot up to a week before the primary election.

That law came about after Robert F Kennedy Jr tried to drop his name from the ballot in November of 2024.

There is also a technical change law that reforms how towns can fill vacant clerk positions.

WEC also notes that Wisconsin voters approved a voter ID constitutional amendment last spring. It goes into effect in 2026.

"In April, voters approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine the state’s photo identification requirement to the Wisconsin constitution. While the ID requirement has been in place since 2016, the move cements the requirement in the state constitution," the commission wrote.

The RATS trying to steal more “elections”. Communism sucks.

Well, they did pass a change to the State Constitution that requires a picture ID to vote. That sounds like a positive change towards fair & free elections where only actual U.S. citizens are allowed to vote. I doubt the communists supported that change.

Wisconsin passed a constitutional amendment in 1998, to protect the right to keep and bear arms. It passed with 74% of the vote.

The leftist Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled the amendment did not mean what it said, because the voters did not understand it.

In essence, they nullified the voters will.

It has not come before the Supreme Court in Wisconsin since (by a hair) and now the Supreme Court has a leftist majority again.

Given Never Trump Uber weasel Speaker Robin Vos and the utterly clueless RPW Chair Brian Schimming 2026 results are baked in extending their record to 5-24 in statewide elections since 2018.

These two are more interested in purging independent conservatives and driving TPUSA out of the state then fighting socialists
