SB 453 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: the first date on which nomination papers may be circulated for the spring election.

SB 453 changes the earliest date nomination papers can be circulated for spring elections from December 1 to November 16. This adjustment applies to local elections in towns, villages, and counties, affecting candidates seeking office and election officials who manage nomination deadlines. The bill amends multiple statutes (including those governing nomination paper circulation, filing deadlines, and special election timing) to implement this November 16 start date. It does not alter voting requirements or eligibility but updates procedural election schedules. This is a technical timing change affecting local spring election processes.
