Elections in Wisconsin |
---|
The 2015 Wisconsin Spring Election was held in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on April 7, 2015. There was a contested election for justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as well as several other nonpartisan local and judicial elections and an amendment to the Constitution of Wisconsin to change the process for selection of the chief justice of the State Supreme Court. In addition, the ballot contained a special election to fill a vacancy in the 20th State Senate district. The 2015 Wisconsin Spring Primary was held February 17, 2015.
In the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, the Democrats' preferred candidate, incumbent Ann Walsh Bradley, was reelected. The Constitutional Amendment, however, favored by Republicans, was approved by voters and led to the removal of Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson.
Later in the year, there were two more special elections, for the 33rd State Senate district and the 99th State Assembly district.
