Election Integrity Advocacy

As we head into 2026, we have many reasons to celebrate—and even more reason to continue pushing for transparent, accountable elections in Wisconsin. Below is a roundup of recent national developments, important state-level progress, and an invitation to join our Election Integrity community as we work to secure clean and trustworthy elections in 2026. Let’s stay focused, informed, and mobilized. 

National: Election Integrity Wins Under The Trump Administration

  • In March 2025, President Trump signed a sweeping executive order, Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, aimed at strengthening safeguards for federal elections. The order sets new standards for voter citizenship verification, mandates documentary proof of U.S. citizenship on federal voter-registration forms, and prioritizes ensuring ballots are cast and received by Election Day. (Source)

  • The order also calls for enhanced federal cooperation, via DHS and other agencies, to improve database sharing and assist states in confirming eligibility. This includes measures to prevent non-citizen registrations and deterring foreign interference. (Source)

  • The administration further emphasized that foreign contributions and external interference in domestic elections threaten the integrity of our Republic, and is prioritizing prosecution and prevention of such risks under the new framework. (Source)

These initiatives represent a major shift toward stronger federal oversight and uniform national standards, following years of patchwork state-level practices and ongoing debate over election procedures.

Wisconsin: Election Integrity Progress & Emerging Issues

  • Wisconsin voters enshrined the photo-ID requirement in the state constitution. In April 2025, the measure passed with widespread support, elevating the existing voter-ID law from statute to constitutional amendment. (Read More)

    • This constitutional protection makes it significantly harder for future legislatures or courts to roll back the ID requirement, securing one of the strongest election-security safeguards in years. 

  • In October 2025, a court in Waukesha County ruled in Cerny v. Wisconsin Elections Commission that the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) must verify U.S. citizenship for all new voter registrations and scrub the voter rolls to remove potential non-citizens. Although the case continues through the legal process, the ruling highlights growing judicial recognition of citizenship-verification concerns in both Wisconsin and the nation. (Read More)

  • The WEC has recently proposed new administrative rules aimed at enhancing ballot security and formalizing training standards for election inspectors and special voting deputies. This is an opportunity for grassroots voices to weigh in. You can attend the public hearing and provide input by attending the meeting on December 12th, 2025. (WEC Meeting Information)

These developments show that Wisconsin remains a frontline battleground for Election Integrity, and that effective grassroots activism can shape election law outcomes that will change the future of our elections.

Rally Together: Take Action & Protect The Vote in 2026

We’re calling on all supporters across Wisconsin to join the statewide grassroots in promoting and ensuring Election Integrity. This is our moment to:

  • Raise public awareness about the importance of upholding the new constitutional protections for voter ID.

  • Participate in WEC’s December 12th public meeting, urging election officials to pass robust ballot-security and inspector-training rules.

  • Volunteer as poll observers, election inspectors, or grassroots watchdogs to ensure transparency and accountability at every polling place.

  • Mobilize communities and neighbors to stay engaged, informed, and ready to push back against any threats to election integrity.

Everyone who cares about honest, fair, and secure elections, this is our time.
