The 2024 Wisconsin fall general election was held in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on November 5, 2024. One of Wisconsin's U.S. Senate seats and all of Wisconsin's eight seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were up for election, as well as sixteen seats in the Wisconsin Senate and all 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly. Voters also chose ten electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which will participate in selecting the president of the United States. The 2024 fall partisan primary was held on August 13, 2024.[1] The filing deadline for the Fall election was June 3, 2024.[2] Concurrent with the Fall general election, there was also a special election in Wisconsin's 8th congressional district to serve the remaining months of the 118th United States Congress.
The result of the fall election was mixed. The Republican Party presidential candidate, Donald Trump, won the state's presidential electors, but Democratic incumbent United States senator Tammy Baldwin was re-elected. None of the state's U.S. House seats changed partisan control. Republicans maintained majorities in both state legislative chambers going into the 107th Wisconsin Legislature, but Democrats made significant gains, flipping four seats in the Wisconsin Senate, and ten seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly.
The 2024 Wisconsin spring election was held April 2, 2024. This election featured the Democratic and Republican presidential nominating contests, though both party nominations were already clinched before Wisconsin voted. Two seats of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals were also up for election, but neither was contested. There were also various nonpartisan local and judicial offices on the ballot, including a county executive and mayoral election in Wisconsin's most populous city and county, Milwaukee. The 2024 Wisconsin spring primary was held on February 20, 2024. The filing deadline for the Spring election was January 2, 2024.
There were also five constitutional amendments on the ballot in 2024—the largest number of amendments in a single year in Wisconsin since 1986. Two of the amendments were voted on at the Spring general election, two others appeared on the Fall primary ballot, and one question appeared on the Fall general election ballot. The Fall primary ballot questions represented the first time in Wisconsin history that a constitutional amendment appeared on a primary ballot. Republicans supported all five amendments, with Democrats opposing them. Both Spring ballot amendments and the Fall general election amendment passed, both Fall primary ballot amendments failed.
