League of Women Voters – Amendment Overview

Wisconsin voters will be asked one question to amend (change) the constitution on their April ballot. This amendment, the sixth proposed by the legislature in the last year, is another example of the legislature attempting to bypass the authority of the executive and judicial branches through the constitutional amendment process, while denying voters the ability to propose their own citizen-led ballot initiatives.

Whether you love it or hate it, Wisconsin already has a strict voter ID law on the books. This constitutional amendment seeks to enshrine Wisconsin’s voter ID law in the state constitution. While the amendment would not significantly alter the current voter ID law, it would make it harder to remove the photo ID requirement and limit the court’s ability to protect voters disenfranchised by the law.

The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin knows that if this amendment is passed it will be harmful to the people of our state. 

We urge voters to VOTE NO on this question.   For more information
