Dignity at Work Voter GuideThe Dignity at Work Coalition has prepared a Voter Guide every election cycle since 2016. Over the course of these 6 years, the issues facing our state have changed very little. Though it is frustrating that partisan politics has hindered significant progress on these issues, we continue to stress the importance of educating ourselves on the topics at hand. This voter guide is non-partisan and intended to be used at candidate forums, town hall meetings, and any other venues where candidates are available for questioning.

Spring Election April 5 - UpdateThe April 5 election includes judgeships, school board races, a mayoral race in Milwaukee, and other important elections. Local elections often get small turnouts, but the people in these local offices can have a tremendous impact on your day to day life. Don't sit this one out!
Due to new rules, plan to return your absentee ballot by mail or by delivering it to your clerk's office rather than a drop box. Additionally, if possible, voters should plan on returning their own absentee ballot. Voters with disabilities may ask for accommodations to return their ballot. If you have questions about these changes, contact your municipal clerk. |

On March 3, the Wisconsin State Supreme Court chose district maps proposed by Governor Evers, which will determine voting districts for the next ten years.
The maps will bring the number of black-majority Assembly districts up to seven from six, and brings the maps closer to the requirements of the Voting Rights Act than the current or any other proposed maps. However, because the Court required all maps submitted adhere to a "least change" principle, partisan gerrymandering will continue in Wisconsin for at least the next ten years.
