Wisconsin Voters Approve Two Referendums

Wisconsin voters approved two constitutional amendments limiting gubernatorial veto powers and restricting DEI programs while rejecting a measure on church closures during emergencies.

Early voting kicks off on Oct. 20, 2026, at the American Serb Hall at 5101 W. Oklahoma Ave., in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Wisconsin voters approved two constitutional amendments and rejected a third during the November 3 election, altering gubernatorial veto powers and diversity programs. The split results mark the first time United States voters in the state issued divided outcomes on constitutional ballot questions since April 1975. The outcome alters state governance while setting up potential legal challenges over affirmative action.
