Wisconsin Law requires Constitutional amendments to go through the legislature twice before it is on the ballot for the people to vote.  A bill passed the House and Senate in 2022.  The second round for the bills is currently making it’s way through the legislature.  The Senate Bill SJR71 had a hearing on 10/24/23.  There is also a bill in the Assembly AJR76 with a public hearing held 10/24/23.

“I don’t think anyone in this room believes noncitizens are going to gain the right to vote in the state of Wisconsin anytime soon,” said Jamie Lynn Crofts, policy director for Wisconsin Voices. “It should be up to people at the local level to decide if noncitizens should be able to vote in their local elections.”
