Relating to: enforcement of the federal Help America Vote Act.

SB 338 modifies Wisconsin election law to strengthen enforcement of the federal Help America Vote Act. It requires election commissions to process complaints about voting system violations within strict timelines (5 business days to acknowledge, 89 days for final decisions) and hold open hearings with recorded proceedings. The bill mandates uniform, non-discriminatory investigation of all complaints and prohibits dismissing cases simply because a complaint alleges a violation by the commission itself. If a complaint is valid, the commission must take corrective action, and complainants can appeal dismissals to court. This directly affects voters, election officials, and organizations filing voting-related complaints.
