Continuing Wisconsin's Tradition of Clean and Open Government
Recall Primary Elections
Tuesday was Recall Primary Election Day in Wisconsin. There were Democratic and Republican primaries for Governor, and Democratic primaries for Lt. Governor and State Senator in Districts 13, 21, 23 and 29.
The G.A.B. does not yet have Recall Primary Election results, which will be reported by counties the week of May 14. The best current sources are online news websites that are members of the Associated Press, which gathers the unofficial results.
The final recall election has been ordered for June 5.

Voter Photo ID Law Status
Two separate judges, on March 6 and March 12, 2012, have issued injunctions preventing the Government Accountability Board from enforcing photo ID requirements in 2011 Act 23. The Wisconsin Department of Justice has appealed those injunctions, and the appeals have been certified to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which on April 16 sent them back to the respective Courts of Appeals.
