Referendum questions impacting Algoma and Luxemburg-Casco school districts are not the only ones that will appear on ballots on April 2nd.

Two questions will appear on every ballot in the state to clear up issues that partially popped up due to the pandemic. The first question, if approved, would prohibit any level of government from applying or accompanying governmental funds or equipment for election administration. In 2020, the Center for Tech and Civic Life made a series of donations and grants to election administrators to help support operations at polling sites across the state, including in Kewaunee County. Still, millions of dollars went specifically to Democratic strongholds in Kenosha, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, and Racine. According to Ballotpedia, 27 other states have enacted similar laws since 2021.

The second question would add an amendment to current state law that only election officials designated by law may administer. Similar to the first question, the question came about as volunteers from the Center for Tech and Civic Life assisted operations in several communities with central counting centers created because of the pandemic.

The measures were added to the ballot after they received a simple majority vote from the Wisconsin Assembly and State Senate, which is the same reason why another three questions will appear on the fall election ballot this fall.
