Keep the momentum going! You voted to amend our State Constitution so that only U.S. citizens vote in all WI elections & we did it. Here’s why we must turn out to vote YES three times on November 3, 2026.

Constitutional Reform Is on the Ballot November 3, 2026

We need all hands on deck to amend our Wisconsin State Constitution & here are the facts. Please share this vital information with everyone you know & make sure ALL your friends & family vote YES on all 3 statewide referendum.



Three statewide constitutional amendments will appear on Wisconsin ballots.


1. Limit the Governor's Partial-Veto Power on Taxes and Fees

BRIEF OVERVIEW: This amendment would prohibit a Wisconsin governor from using the partial veto to create, increase, or authorize the creation or increase of a tax or fee.

A YES VOTE: Supports adding this restriction to the Wisconsin Constitution.

TALKING POINTS

  • No governor - Republican or Democrat - should be able to create or increase a tax or fee through a partial veto.

  • Tax increases should go through the legislative process, where elected lawmakers debate them, vote on them, and answer to voters.

  • This is about checks and balances, not simply who occupies the governor's office today.

  • A simple test: would you want a governor from the other party to have this power? Constitutional guardrails should apply to everyone.

QUICK MESSAGE: “Tax increases should require a legislative vote - not be created with a governor's veto pen.”



2. Protect the Freedom to Gather in Places of Worship During an Emergency

BRIEF OVERVIEW: This amendment would prohibit the state or a political subdivision from ordering the closure of, or forbidding gatherings in, places of worship in response to a declared emergency, including a public-health emergency.

A YES VOTE: Supports constitutionally protecting gatherings at places of worship from these government closure orders during emergencies.

TALKING POINTS

  • Constitutional rights do not disappear when an emergency is declared.

  • Religious liberty protects Wisconsinites of every faith.

  • The lessons of COVID showed why clear limits on emergency government power matter.

  • Government can communicate risks and recommend precautions without having the power to close the doors of places of worship.

  • For members discussing the No Patient Left Alone effort: the shared principle is that emergencies should not become a blank check for government over fundamental human relationships, faith, and freedoms.

QUICK MESSAGE: “An emergency declaration should never cancel your freedom to worship.”


3. Prohibit Government Discrimination or Preferential Treatment

BRIEF OVERVIEW: This amendment would prohibit Wisconsin governmental entities from discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, an individual or group based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, public contracting, or public administration.

A YES VOTE: Supports adding this equal-treatment requirement to the Wisconsin Constitution.

TALKING POINTS

  • Government should not discriminate - period.

  • Equal treatment means the same rules and standards should apply to everyone.

  • Public jobs and opportunities should be based on qualifications and merit rather than government preferences based on race or sex.

  • Public contracting should focus on qualifications, performance, and value for taxpayers.

  • Keep the message broader than the acronym 'DEI': the principle is equal treatment under government.

QUICK MESSAGE: “Government should neither discriminate against nor give preferential treatment to people based on race or sex.”


CALL TO ACTION: HELP CREATE AWARENESS
  • Follow RPKC's social media and watch for posts, graphics, videos, and voter information about the three amendments.

  • SHARE RPKC content to your own Facebook page and other social platforms. A share helps information reach people outside the party's normal audience.

  • Add a short personal comment when you share: tell friends why the issue matters to you and encourage them to learn about all three amendments.

  • Talk about the amendments with family, friends, neighbors, and fellow community members.

  • Remind voters to look for all three statewide constitutional amendment questions on their November 3 ballot.

  • Help us create repetition. Voters often need to see an issue more than once before they remember it on Election Day.


PROTECT TAXPAYERS. PROTECT RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. SUPPORT EQUAL TREATMENT.

YES • YES • YES — NOVEMBER 3, 2026




Fight, fight, fight & vote in every election!





When & Where To Vote

In-Person Absentee Voting (early voting) begins on October 20th and runs through October 30th, depending upon your municipality. See the Kenosha County Clerk’s Election and Voting Information page for additional information. Outside the City, check your municipality’s web site for information on when and where you can early vote.


Municipal Election Information:


If you’re not sure whether you’re registered to vote, check the MyVote Wisconsin website. You can also use this link to update your registration—in particular, if you’ve moved or changed your name.


If you need to register to vote, bring with you a picture ID, and documentation of where you live. Your Wisconsin driver’s license or state-issued ID card is enough, if it shows your current name and address. If your license/ID does not show your current name or address, bring a document that does show your current name and address – for example, a tax bill, a utility bill, or a paycheck or pay stub. Visit Bring It to the Ballot for all the information you need.
