WisGOP Statement on Passage of Question 1 Constitutional Amendment

MADISON, Wis. – If you are covering the approval of the Question 1 constitutional amendment prohibiting noncitizen voting in Wisconsin elections, please consider the following statement from WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming:

“With the passage of Question 1, voters have delivered an unmistakable message: Wisconsin elections will be decided by U.S. citizens, not far-left activists who would turn the ballot box into a petri dish for extremist policies.” —WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming

Background:

• Noncitizen voting in state and local elections has been implemented in the District of Columbia and several other municipalities across the United States. In 2016, voters in San Francisco approved noncitizen voting in school board elections.
• The RPW released a radio ad in the final weeks of the campaign pushing for the passage of the Question 1 constitutional amendment.
