For resources detailing these measures and local voting information, please consult the Wisconsin Elections Commission and your regional Winnebago County or Outagamie County websites.
The three state measures, referred to the ballot by the Wisconsin State Legislature, are:
- Prohibit Partial Veto to Increase Tax or Fee Amendment: This amendment would alter state executive powers by prohibiting the governor from using their partial (line-item) veto authority to create or increase taxes or fees.
- Prohibit Government Discrimination or Preferential Treatment Amendment: Focused on constitutional rights and affirmative action, this measure would ban the government from discriminating or granting preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. The League of Women Voters of Appleton-Fox Cities has voiced concerns about the implications of this amendment on local public education, employment, and government programs.
- Prohibit Government Closure of Places of Worship During Emergencies Amendment: This amendment seeks to safeguard religious gatherings by prohibiting the government from closing places of worship during declared emergencies, including public health crises.
For Fox Cities residents, particularly those in Winnebago and Outagamie counties, there may be additional local measures or candidate races on your specific ballot. For instance, Winnebago County will be voting for a County Sheriff.
