Issues and candidates before the Wisconsin electorate in August 2024 include:

• 2024 primary election for contested US and Wisconsin offices and seats
• Referendums on Constitutional Amendments

  These amendments would put Wisconsin’s share of federal funds, including the distribution of emergency funds, at risk.

  *****Go here *** to learn from the WI League of Women Voter's research why you should vote “no” to both of these Constitutional Amendments. These constitutional amendments are confusing and harmful. Learn what’s at stake.
