WILL supports a bill aimed at ensuring that Wisconsin electors who file election-related complaints with the Wisconsin Elections Commission (“WEC”) have a statutory right, upon receiving an adverse determination from WEC, to seek judicial review of that determination in the Wisconsin court system.¹

Under Wisconsin law, specifically Wis. Stat. § 5.06, the Wisconsin Legislature established a mechanism for Wisconsin voters to file complaints against local election officials with WEC. Subject to certain administrative requirements, WEC is statutorily required to review these complaints and then issue a determination on the merits, which may include ordering an election official to conform his or her conduct to the law.
