Elections in Wisconsin |
---|
The 2022 Wisconsin fall general election was held in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on November 8, 2022. All of Wisconsin's partisan executive and administrative offices were up for election, as well as one of Wisconsin's U.S. Senate seats, and Wisconsin's eight seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The fall election also filled the seventeen odd-numbered seats in the Wisconsin Senate and all 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly for the 106th Wisconsin Legislature. The 2022 Wisconsin fall primary was held on August 9, 2022.
The parties split the major state-wide races, with Democrats retaining the offices of governor and attorney general and Republicans retaining the U.S. Senate seat. Republicans gained one seat in the U.S. House delegation, taking the vast western 3rd congressional district following the retirement of 13-term Democratic congressman Ron Kind. Republicans also picked up one seat in the State Senate, reaching a supermajority. They also flipped one seat in the State Assembly, but fell three seats short of a supermajority in that chamber.
The 2022 Wisconsin spring election was held April 5, 2022. Three seats of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals were up in this election, as well as various nonpartisan local and judicial offices, including a special election for mayor of Milwaukee. The 2022 spring primary was held February 15, 2022.
These were the first elections held after the redistricting of the state following the 2020 United States census. The redistricting process could not be completed through the normal legislative process, and was handled by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which selected the Republican Party's preferred map.
