The 2024 Wisconsin fall general election was held in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on November 5, 2024. One of Wisconsin's U.S. Senate seats and all of Wisconsin's eight seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were up for election, as well as sixteen seats in the Wisconsin Senate and all 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly. Voters also chose ten electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which will participate in selecting the president of the United States. The 2024 fall partisan primary was held on August 13, 2024. The filing deadline for the Fall election was June 3, 2024. Concurrent with the Fall general election, there was also a special election in Wisconsin's 8th congressional district to serve the remaining months of the 118th United States Congress.
The result of the fall election was mixed. The Republican Party presidential candidate, Donald Trump, won the state's presidential electors, but Democratic incumbent United States senator Tammy Baldwin was re-elected. None of the state's U.S. House seats changed partisan control. Republicans maintained majorities in both state legislative chambers going into the 107th Wisconsin Legislature, but Democrats made significant gains, flipping four seats in the Wisconsin Senate, and ten seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly.
The 2024 Wisconsin spring election was held April 2, 2024. This election featured the Democratic and Republican presidential nominating contests, though both party nominations were already clinched before Wisconsin voted. Two seats of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals were also up for election, but neither was contested. There were also various nonpartisan local and judicial offices on the ballot, including a county executive and mayoral election in Wisconsin's most populous city and county, Milwaukee. The 2024 Wisconsin spring primary was held on February 20, 2024. The filing deadline for the Spring election was January 2, 2024.
There were also five constitutional amendments on the ballot in 2024—the largest number of amendments in a single year in Wisconsin since 1986. Two of the amendments were voted on at the Spring general election, two others appeared on the Fall primary ballot, and one question appeared on the Fall general election ballot. The Fall primary ballot questions represented the first time in Wisconsin history that a constitutional amendment appeared on a primary ballot. Republicans supported all five amendments, with Democrats opposing them. Both Spring ballot amendments and the Fall general election amendment passed, both Fall primary ballot amendments failed.

## Federal offices
### President

Wisconsin's vote for presidential electors in the race for President of the United States will be part of the Fall general election, to be held on November 5, 2024. The incumbent president, Joe Biden, initially planned to seek a second four-year term and won a sufficient number of Democratic National Convention delegates to secure his renomination. However, Biden announced on July 21, 2024, that he would drop out of the race and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris. Harris subsequently secured the support of Democratic convention delegates and was nominated at the Democratic National Convention. Vice President Kamala Harris faced former president Donald Trump in the general election.
Third-party candidates who appeared on the ballot in Wisconsin include Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Libertarian Party nominee Chase Oliver, Constitution Party nominee Randall Terry, Party for Socialism and Liberation nominee Claudia De la Cruz, and independent candidates Cornel West and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy has endorsed Donald Trump but was unable to remove his name from the ballot.

#### Democratic primary

Wisconsin's Democratic presidential preference primary was on the ballot for Wisconsin's Spring general election, Tuesday, April 2, 2024. Incumbent president Joe Biden secured enough delegates to be renominated before the Wisconsin primary took place. U.S. representative Dean Phillips (MN-03) and Author Marianne Williamson also sought the nomination. Williamson suspended her campaign following the Nevada Primary on February 7, 2024, but re-entered the campaign following the Michigan primary on February 27, 2024. In spite of this, Williamson never gained ballot access in the state. Phillips suspended his campaign on March 6, after the Super Tuesday primaries and endorsed Biden. Despite his suspension, Phillips name still appeared on the ballot. Lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was briefly a declared candidate for the Democratic nomination but withdrew to pursue an independent bid.
Due to backlash against the government's policies toward the Israel–Hamas war, a movement was started to vote for uninstructed delegates in the presidential primary. Biden ultimately won 88% of the primary vote, 8% of the vote was for uninstructed delegates.
After Biden withdrew from the presidential election, on July 21, 2024, Wisconsin's Biden delegates switched their support to Vice President Kamala Harris.

#### Republican primary

Wisconsin's Republican presidential preference primary was on the ballot for Wisconsin's Spring general election, Tuesday, April 2, 2024. Former president Donald Trump secured enough delegates to be renominated before the Wisconsin primary took place. Former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, incumbent Florida governor Ron DeSantis, former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy were all candidates, but withdrew during the primaries. Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, U.S. senator Tim Scott (SC), U.S. representative Will Hurd (TX-23), North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, Miami mayor Francis Suarez, radio host Larry Elder, and businessman Perry Johnson were also candidates, but withdrew from the race before voting began. Despite these withdrawals Christie, Ramaswamy, DeSantis, and Haley all appeared on the primary ballot, alongside an option for an uninstructed delegation.
Trump received 79% of the primary vote, with Haley receiving 13%, DeSantis with 3%, and 2% for uninstructed delegates.

### U.S. Senate

A regularly-scheduled United States Senate election was held for Wisconsin's Class 1 United States Senate seat at the Fall general election, November 5, 2024. Incumbent Democratic senator Tammy Baldwin was elected to a third six-year term. Baldwin narrowly defeated Republican hedge fund manager Eric Hovde, who had previously sought the Republican nomination for this Senate seat in 2012. Two other independent candidates also appeared on the general election ballot: Phil Anderson (Disrupt The Corruption) and Thomas Leager (America First).
There were two other candidates in the Republican primary, UW–Stevens Point College Republicans chair Rejani Raveendran and farmer and perennial candidate Charles Barman. Two other Republicans initially announced their candidacy but subsequently withdrew from the race: Trempealeau County supervisor Stacey Klein and retired U.S. Army Reserve sergeant major Patrick Schaefer-Wicke.

### Ballot measures

There were five amendments to the Constitution of Wisconsin voted on during 2024. The first two amendments were on the ballot for the Spring general election, April 2, 2024. Two other amendments were on the Fall primary ballot, on August 13, 2024. A final amendment is set to appear on the Fall general election ballot, on November 5, 2024. All five amendments were proposed by Republicans and passed through the legislature on roughly party-line votes. Both spring amendment votes succeeded. Both fall primary amendment votes failed. The fall general amendment vote succeeded.
Both spring amendments were part of ongoing Republican attempts to change the process of election administration, motivated by grievances and conspiracy theories about the conduct and outcome of the 2020 elections.
The fall primary amendments were part of the Republican legislature's campaign to restrict the powers of the Democratic governor, which began just after he won the 2018 election. These two amendments attempted to restrict the governor's authority over spending of state money. The manner of the fall amendment process was also noteworthy, with Republicans specifying that the ratification vote should occur on the fall primary ballot rather than the fall general election ballot. Historically, all prior Wisconsin constitutional amendment votes (both successful and unsuccessful) took place at a general election. According to some political figures, such as Ben Wikler, the fall amendments were placed in the August primary as Republicans hoped a lower turnout election would ensure their approval.
The fall general election question is part of the ongoing efforts of the Republican Party to create new barriers to voting, according to Republican authors of the referendum, it was meant to prevent voter fraud. This amendment would alter the voting rights section of the Wisconsin Constitution, replacing the word "every" with the word "only" in the sentence "Every United States citizen age 18 or older who is a resident of an election district in this state is a qualified elector of that district."

#### Spring Question 1

The first constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2024 dealt with the issue of external funding to support election administration. This amendment was proposed by Republican legislators in response to the Mark Zuckerberg-backed nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life making 10 million dollars worth of grants, spread across 100 Wisconsin municipalities and 38 Wisconsin counties to help those municipalities to pay election-related expenses for the 2020 elections. The amendment was ratified with 54% of the votes.
The question read:
   Use of private funds in election administration. Shall section 7 (1) of article III of the constitution be created to provide that private donations and grants may not be applied for, accepted, expended, or used in connection with the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum?

#### Spring Question 2

The second constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2024 added language to restrict who is allowed to perform actions related to carrying out elections in Wisconsin. Wisconsin already had laws describing who is allowed to work as a poll worker or elections officers, but the ambiguous wording of the new amendment may have been intended to restrict any volunteer activities around election support that are not explicitly described by current law. The amendment was ratified with 58% of the votes.
The question read:
   Election officials. Shall section 7 (2) of article III of the constitution be created to provide that only election officials designated by law may perform tasks in the conduct of primaries, elections, and referendums?

#### Fall Primary Question 1

The third constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2024 was intended to restrict the ability of the legislature to delegate any spending authority to other entities. Existing law where the legislature had previously delegated authority could have been invalidated by this amendment.
The question read:
   Delegation of appropriation power. Shall section 35 (1) of article IV of the constitution be created to provide that the legislature may not delegate its sole power to determine how moneys shall be appropriated?

#### Fall Primary Question 2

The fourth constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2024 was intended to prohibit the governor from spending money that the state received from the federal government without authorization from the state legislature. This was prompted by Republican discontent over the money Wisconsin received from President Biden's American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Inflation Reduction Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and CHIPS and Science Act, which enabled Governor Evers to fund a number of projects without legislative approval.
The question read:
   Allocation of federal moneys. Shall section 35 (2) of article IV of the constitution be created to prohibit the governor from allocating any federal moneys the governor accepts on behalf of the state without the approval of the legislature by joint resolution or as provided by legislative rule?

#### Fall General Question 1

The right to vote in Wisconsin is established in Section 1, Article III, of the state constitution, which says "Every United States citizen age 18 or older who is a resident of an election district in this state is a qualified elector of that district." The fifth constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2024 would alter the language of that section to delete the word "Every" and replace it with the words "Only a", then adding a list of election categories for which the restriction would apply. Under current state and federal law, it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in any federal elections, and noncitizens who vote illegally could face imprisonment or deportation. According to nonpartisan experts, since non-citizen voting is already illegal, the amendment would have no immediate impact on Wisconsin elector qualifications.
Critics of amendments such as these have expressed concerns that they only further misinformation surrounding the prevalence of noncitizen voting in the United States. According to the Brennan Center, noncitizen voting is negligible, with only 0.0001% of votes in 2016 across 42 local jurisdictions. While measures are in place to ensure noncitizens are unable to register to vote. According to the League of Women Voters, the amendment would flip the meaning of Section 1 from guaranteeing citizens the right to vote to instead establishing limitations on which citizens can be extended the right to vote. The language change therefore could be used to further erode the voting rights of American citizens in the future.
The question reads:
   Eligibility to vote. Shall section 1 of article III of the constitution, which deals with suffrage, be amended to provide that only a United States citizen age 18 or older who resides in an election district may vote in an election for national, state, or local office or at a statewide or local referendum?
