The Honorable, The Senate:
You have asked for the last day on which the Legislature may act to ensure that a proposed constitutional amendment can be place on the ballot for April 2, 2013 spring election. The Legislature must complete action on a proposed constitutional amendment no later than Tuesday, January 22, 2013.
By statute, all proposed constitutional amendments and any other measure or question that is to be submitted to a vote of the people shall be filed with the official or agency responsible for preparing the ballots for the election no later than 70 days before the election at which the amendment, measure or question will appear on the ballot, 8.37 Wis. Stats. Tuesday, January 22, 2013, is 70 days before the April 2, 2013 spring election.
In order for the legislative action to be filed in our office, it is sufficient for the chief clerks to notify our office by e-mail no later than Tuesday, February 22, 2011 the Legislature passed the resolution. It is not necessary that we receive the signed resolution by the close of business on Tuesday, January 22, 2013.
In order to facilitate preparation for the April 2013 spring election, I suggest sponsoring legislators contact the office of the Attorney General to make arrangements for the preparation of the explanatory statement required by 10.01(2)(c) Wis. Stats. The explanatory statement is published in the paper by the county clerk immediately before the election. It is also posted at the polling place on Election Day.
Please make the appropriate arrangements to ensure that this information is communicated to the members of the Legislature. If you or any member of the Legislature has a question, please contact me at 608-261-8683, Elections Supervisor, Ross Hein at 608-267-3666, or ask to speak to one of our Elections Specialists.
Sincerely,
