One question — concerning the creation of a new section in
Article I of the Wisconsin Constitution, "Declaration of Rights," to guarantee people the right to fish, hunt, trap, and take game subject to reasonable restrictions — was placed on the April 1, 2003, spring election ballot for ratification. The number of votes cast for or against the question, shown below, was copied from the official canvass certified by the Chairperson of the Wisconsin State Elections Board on May 7, 2003. The new section was ratified by a majority of the electors voting on the question.
Question 1 was placed on the ballot by 2003 Assembly Jt.Res-1 (2003 Enrolled Jt.Res-8). The question concerned the right to fish, hunt, trap, and take game subject to reasonable restrictions.
Question 1: Right to fish, hunt, trap, and take game. Shall section 26 of
article I of the constitution be created to provide that the people have the right to fish, hunt, trap, and take game subject only to reasonable restrictions as prescribed by law?
