Wisconsin election guide: key dates, races, and amendments

Wisconsin's general election on Nov. 3 features a high-profile governor's race between Democrat David Crowley and Republican Tom Tiffany, alongside state legislative contests and three constitutional amendments. Voters face key deadlines, including Oct. 14 for mail or online registration and Oct. 29 for absentee ballot requests. Polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with registration available online, by mail, in person, or at polling places. Absentee ballots require a valid photo ID and must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day. The ballot also includes races for lieutenant governor, treasurer, secretary of state, and attorney general. The three amendments address government closure of places of worship during emergencies, prohibiting discrimination or preferential treatment based on race or sex, and limiting the governor's partial veto on tax or fee increases.
