Question 1: Prohibit the Governor's Partial Veto From Creating or Increasing Taxes or Fees is a ballot measure in Wisconsin on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Bars the governor from using Wisconsin's partial (line-item) veto on budget bills to create a new tax or fee or raise an existing one. It changes who can raise taxes, not your tax bill directly.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.
Representation: Average · 50 out of 100
This district covers a large share of its state, so each vote carries about average weight — like a vote in a statewide race. About 5,914,872 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,914,872 ÷ 5,914,872) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in WI (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.

Read the official ballot measure
A YES vote means
Any tax or fee increase would have to pass the Legislature; the governor could not create one by editing a budget bill with a partial veto.
A NO vote means
The governor keeps the current partial veto power, which courts have allowed to reshape budget bills, including revenue limits.
