This bill died with 2021-2022 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.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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 Senate Bill 936 includes a new provision that requires the Wisconsin Elections Commission to resolve complaints within 60 days of receipt, with the option to extend that timeframe by an additional 60 days if two-thirds of the commission members agree. This ensures that complaints about election issues are addressed more promptly, which could enhance trust in the electoral process by providing quicker resolutions and clearer accountability. Ultimately, these changes aim to improve the handling of election law violations and streamline the process for addressing voter concerns.

received by the commission under s.
Neither the commission nor the members or employees of the commission, including the administrator, may file a sworn complaint for purposes of initiating an investigation.

In addition, current law authorizes any eligible voter to file a complaint with the commission requesting the commission to compel an election official to conform his or her conduct to the law - 2022 Legislature - 2 - LRB-5270/1 MPG&JK:amn SENATE BILL 936 or to restrain the official from taking any action inconsistent with the law.
Current law also authorizes a person to file a complaint with the commission indicating that the person believes a violation of the federal Help America Vote Act regarding an election for a national office in this state occurred, is occurring, or is proposed to occur.
Current law prohibits public access to records obtained or prepared by the Elections Commission in connection with an investigation, including the full text of any complaint filed with the commission, with certain exceptions.
For example, the commission must provide such records to the Joint Committee on Finance in order to receive supplemental funds for an ongoing investigation.
In addition, the commission must provide investigatory records to the Legislative Audit Bureau to the extent necessary for the bureau to carry out its duties.
This bill requires that the Elections Commission resolve each complaint filed with the commission no later than 60 days after receiving the complaint unless the commission, by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members, approves extending that time by an additional 60-day period.
The bill allows the commission to adopt more than one 60-day extension.
Under the bill, during the 60-day period and any extension of that period, the commission must determine, by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members, whether to dismiss the complaint;
initiate an investigation;
or grant the relief, in whole or in part, requested by the complainant.
If the commission fails to dismiss a complaint, the commission must initiate an investigation or refer the matter to the attorney general or to a district attorney.
Finally, under the bill, a person who alleges that an action of the commission violated or resulted in the violation of election laws may file a complaint and commence suit in the circuit court for any county where the alleged violation occurred.
The bill also requires the Elections Commission to provide a copy of the full text of any complaint received by the commission, along with documentation specifying how the complaint was resolved, to the representative of the assembly of the assembly district and the senator of the senate district where the violation alleged in the complaint occurred, is occurring, or is proposed to occur and to the cochairpersons of the legislative standing committees with jurisdiction over elections no later than 30 days after the complaint was resolved.
The bill requires the commission to redact the names of individuals from the complaints and documentation so provided.
R EPORTS CONCERNING ELECTION LAW VIOLATIONS This bill requires the Elections Commission to submit to the legislature and the governor no later than January 31 each year a report that includes all of the following:

The commission's report must include a description of each general category of concerns reported to the commission and an explanation of each such category.
The bill additionally requires the Elections Commission to promulgate rules establishing procedures for the commission's consideration and handling of both formal complaints and informal reports of possible violations of election laws, including violations of election laws or other misconduct alleged to have been committed by election officials.
P OSTELECTION AUDITS OF ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEMS Under current law, after each general election, the Elections Commission is required to perform an audit of electronic voting systems used in the election and take remedial actions if the audit yields an error rate exceeding that which is permitted under standards established by the Federal Election Commission.
Under the bill, each such audit must be completed no later than November 30 after each general election and must include all of the following:
1.
Electronic voting system equipment used in at least four reporting units in the city of Milwaukee, at least four reporting units in the city of Madison, at least one reporting unit in each of the 20 other largest municipalities in Wisconsin, and at least percent of the reporting units in all other municipalities combined.
