Wisconsin Absentee Ballot Reform Push | Madison News

A new lawsuit in Wisconsin is demanding a critical change to how absentee ballots are handled: voters whose mail-in ballots don’t arrive by Election Day should be allowed to cast a provisional ballot at the polls, ensuring their vote isn’t lost to delays. This comes after repeated warnings from state officials and real-world examples like California’s June primary and Wisconsin’s April election, where tens of thousands of ballots were rejected for being late. Filed by Law Forward and the Fair Elections Center, the suit seeks a judicial ruling to create a safety net — provisional ballots would only be counted if the original mail-in ballot doesn’t arrive — preventing double voting while protecting every eligible vote.
