2026 Voter Education Campaign

Last updated on October 06, 2026

The ACLU of Wisconsin Foundation is working to increase voter participation throughout Wisconsin by educating voters on the voting process.

Education and Election Protection

We published a nonpartisan guide to voting in Wisconsin that covers all aspects of voting, including resources for voters with special circumstances. Additionally, we provided voting rights trainings as part of our Know Your Rights Webinar series.

We’re also actively recruiting hundreds of volunteer law students and lawyers to engage in work to provide individual voter assistance through the Election Protection Hotline (1-866-OUR-VOTE). Our group of nonpartisan legal experts works tirelessly on Election Day to answer voters’ questions, address voting issues in real time, monitor polling places and central count locations across Wisconsin, and ensure every voter can cast their ballot and that it counts.

Early Vote in the Midterms

Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, the ACLU of Wisconsin is undertaking an extensive voter education campaign to rally Wisconsinites to vote early.

Early voting provides critical access to the ballot box for voters who face significant barriers to voting on Election Day. Early voting offers much-needed flexibility for countless voters across the state, including workers with unpredictable schedules, students, disabled voters, caregivers and parents, voters who don’t have a witness to vote by mail, and voters who need assistance from election staff.

We’re reaching hundreds of thousands of people across the state through digital ads, phone and text banking, and direct mail.

Tens of thousands of Wisconsinites vote early every year without issue, and it’s a great option if you don’t want to wait until Election Day. Smart voters vote early. Busy voters vote early. Workers vote early. Parents vote early. No matter who you are, you can always beat the Election Day rush and vote early.

In 2024, nearly 950,000 registered Wisconsin voters voted early, setting a new state record. Voting early is a trusted voting option in Wisconsin, and we encourage everyone to take advantage!
