Referendum Information
On the ballot, it reads:
“Eligibility to vote. Shall section 1 of article III of the constitution, which deals with suffrage, be amended to provide that only a United States citizen age 18 or older who resides in an election district may vote in an election for national, state, or local office or at a statewide or local referendum?”
The Wisconsin Constitution provides that “[e]very United age States citizen 18 or older who is a resident of an election district in this state is a qualified elector of that district.” Wis. Const. art. III, § 1. That language is repeated in Wisconsin statute. Wis. Stat. § 6.02(1).
The referendum question would modify the language in Wis. Const. art. III, § 1 to provide that “only” a U.S. citizen 18 or older who resides in an election district may vote, and it would specify that only such individuals may vote in an election for “a national, state, or local office or at a statewide or local referendum.” It also would add definitions of what “local office, “national office,” “referendum,” and “state office” mean. 2023 Wis. S.J. Res. 71.
A “yes” vote would vote to modify existing article III, section 1 of the Wisconsin
Constitution to provide that “only” a U.S. citizen 18 or older who resides in an election district can vote “in a national, state, or local office or at a statewide or local referendum.”
A “no” vote would vote not to change Wis. Const. art. III, § 1 of the Wisconsin Constitution.
