WILL Applauds State Legislature For Suspending Ballot Curing Rule
The Wisconsin legislature’s Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rule (JCRAR) suspended a Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) rule that addressed whether clerks can “cure”, or fill in missing information, on absentee ballots. WILL submitted comment and testified at JCRAR encouraging the committee to suspend the rule because it clearly conflicts with state law that reads, “If a certificate is missing the address of a witness, the ballot may not be counted.”
🗯 WILL Deputy Counsel, Lucas Vebber, stated “WEC’s proposed rule is in conflict with state law. JCRAR’s action affirms that state law provides clerks with two options when a ballot has missing information: return the ballot to the elector to correct, or don’t count the ballot.”

Restoring American Education Project: Model School Board Policies
Over the last two years, many parents and community members have ran and won elections for school board. But once they are on the board, it is difficult to determine how best to discuss and implement policies that empower parents and create an environment of transparency. WILL’s Restoring American Education initiative is the answer to that challenge.
WILL released several model school board policies designed to help school board members discuss and implement these policies. WILL is hosting a Zoom webinar on these policies on August 1. Sign up here to get registered.
