Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, voters will decide several significant races: Wisconsin will elect a Governor (four-year term), Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, and all 99 State Assembly seats for two-year terms. Wisconsin does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026. County-level positions including County Board supervisors will also appear on the ballot, along with potentially constitutional officers depending on term schedules. State legislative districts may be newly redrawn following redistricting, so residents should verify their current Assembly and Senate districts.

Wisconsin requires photo ID to vote both in-person and for absentee ballots (copy of ID must be submitted with absentee application). Acceptable IDs include Wisconsin driver license, Wisconsin DOT-issued ID card, military ID, passport, or tribal ID.
