Hi John,

The Wisconsin Supreme Court plays a crucial role in decisions that impact our environment, democracy, and fundamental rights. With the election on April 1, now is the time to ensure your voice is heard.

The court’s decisions affect issues like clean water protections, conservation policies, and voting rights. That’s why it is essential for all eligible voters to participate in this election and make their voices count.

Vote NO on the constitutional amendment
On April 1, Wisconsin voters will decide on a constitutional amendment related to voter ID laws. While it is presented as an election security measure, this amendment would make it harder to challenge existing voter ID laws, potentially restricting access to the ballot for many voters.

Research has shown that voter ID laws disproportionately impact communities that already face systemic barriers to voting, including Black and Brown voters, transgender individuals, students, and people with disabilities. A study found that between 16,800 and 23,250 voters in Milwaukee and Dane counties alone did not vote in the 2016 election due to these restrictions.

If passed, this amendment would make it more difficult to ensure fair and accessible elections in Wisconsin. Many Wisconsinites struggle with obtaining an ID due to financial barriers, transportation challenges, or bureaucratic hurdles. By enshrining these laws in the state constitution, future efforts to improve voting access could be severely limited.

Vote NO on this extreme and unnecessary amendment to our State Constitution.

Make your plan to vote
With the election just a week away, it's crucial to have a plan in place to ensure your voice is heard. Here's what you need to know:

Voter registration:

You can register to vote on Election Day. You can also register at your clerk’s office or when early voting until Friday, March 28.

Absentee Voting:

If you have an absentee ballot, it must be received by your municipal clerk no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day, April 1.

To find out how you can return your ballot in your community, contact your local clerk.

Early voting may be available until Sunday, March 30. Check with your local municipal clerk's office for specific hours and locations. Remember to bring an acceptable photo ID.
