This bill died with 2023-2024 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

Vetoed by Governor Tony Evers (Democratic) on March 21, 2024.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill AB 572 clarifies regulations regarding absentee voting for residents in specific care facilities and addresses how individuals deemed incompetent can be informed about their voting eligibility. It establishes a new requirement that the election commission must notify individuals of their voting status within three business days after receiving a court determination of their ineligibility, along with a new voter registration form if they wish to vote. These changes aim to ensure that residents in retirement homes and similar facilities have equal access to voting and are properly informed of their rights, which is especially important for managing voter participation among vulnerable populations.

to repeal and recreate6.875 (6) (c) 2.;
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau Absentee voting in certain facilities Under current law, under certain circumstances, a municipal clerk must dispatch special voting deputies to a residential care facility or qualified retirement home so that the occupants of the facility or home may cast an absentee ballot in person with the special voting deputies rather than vote in person at the appropriate polling place or request and complete an absentee ballot by mail.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in 54.25 (2) (c) 1.
Under current law, a retirement home is a facility occupied as a primary residence by 10 or more unrelated individuals.
A qualified retirement home is a retirement home that has a significant number of occupants who lack adequate transportation to the polling place, need assistance in voting, are aged 60 or over, or are indefinitely confined.
Under current law, the special voting deputies must arrange with the administrator of the residential care facility or qualified retirement home one or more convenient times to visit the facility or home.
The administrator of the facility or home may, upon the request of a relative of an occupant of the facility or home, notify the relative of the time or times when special voting deputies will conduct absentee voting at the facility or home.
- 2024 Legislature - 2 - LRB-4709/1 JK&MPG:wlj ASSEMBLY BILL 572 This bill requires the administrator, or the administrator's designee, to provide notice by email of the dates and times when the deputies will be visiting the residential care facility or qualified retirement home to each individual designated as a contact by the occupant who intends to vote by absentee ballot with the special voting deputies.
Determinations of incompetency Under current law, no person who is incapable of understanding the objective of the elective process or who is under a guardianship may vote unless a court has determined that the person is competent to vote.
Current law also allows any voter in a municipality to petition a circuit court to determine whether a person residing in the municipality is incapable of understanding the objective of the elective process.
If the court determines that the person is incapable of such understanding, the person is not eligible to register to vote or to vote.
Current law requires the clerk of the circuit court to communicate the court's determinations, in writing, to the election officials who are responsible for determining challenges to registration and voting that may be brought against the person.
This bill requires the circuit court to notify the Elections Commission, by email, of the court's determination regarding incompetency and ineligibility to vote.
Under the bill, when the commission receives a determination of incompetency and ineligibility to vote, the commission must, within two business days, change the status of the voter subject to the determination to inactive on the official voter registration list, note on the list that the voter is ineligible to vote, and notify the voter and the voter's municipal clerk of the voter's change in status.
The bill also provides that if a court reviews a determination of incompetency and ineligibility to vote and restores the voter's right to vote, upon receipt of that determination by email, the commission must, within two business days, notify the voter that the voter is eligible to vote and that the voter is required to complete a new registration to vote if the voter intends to vote.
Under the bill, the clerk must examine the registration list before issuing a ballot to any potential voter.
Finally, under current law, an individual who votes at an election but who does not have the necessary qualifications to vote is guilty of a Class I felony.
Under the bill, the penalty does not apply to an individual who has been determined ineligible to vote due to incompetency, but the individual's vote is excluded from the final tally for that election.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
