Vote No: November 5 Constitutional Amendment

media release: The Constitutional Amendment on the November 5 ballot is harmful and can diminish our voting rights. Join the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin for this virtual program to learn why you should vote no to this constitutional amendment. Learn what's at stake. This constitutional amendment aims to divide us. Let's come together and vote no!

Our voting rights are literally on the ballot with this amendment. The change from "every" to "only" is a downgrade to all of our voting rights. The language changes our constitutionally protected voting rights from a guarantee for all citizens to a limitation that could be used to erode our voting rights. 

In fact lawmakers have already discussed this being a step on the path to further limit our right to vote. Including by implementing a proof of citizenship requirements despite knowing that 1 in 10 US Citizens don't have the documents to prove their citizenship. Join us to learn more!
