Ballot measures
Question 1: Partial veto (constitutional amendment). Would bar the governor from using the partial (line-item) veto to create or raise any tax or fee. Follows Gov. Evers' 2023 veto that raised school revenue limits by $325 a year for 400 years, which the state Supreme Court upheld in 2025. Yes means the governor could not use the partial veto to create or increase a tax or fee. No means the governor keeps current partial veto power, including over tax and fee provisions.
Question 2: Places of worship during emergencies (constitutional amendment). Would bar the state and local governments from closing places of worship or banning gatherings in them during a declared emergency, including a public health emergency. Yes means government could not close or ban gatherings at places of worship during emergencies. No means government keeps its current power to limit gatherings at places of worship during emergencies.
Question 3: Government discrimination and preferential treatment (constitutional amendment). Would add a section to the state constitution barring state and local government from discriminating against, or giving preferential treatment to, any person or group based on race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in public jobs, public education, public contracting or public administration. Yes means the constitution would ban government programs that give preference based on race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in public jobs, schools, contracts and administration. No means no new constitutional ban; current state and federal law continues to govern these programs.
