Wisconsin’s November 2026 ballot includes a proposed constitutional limit on the governor’s unusually broad partial-veto authority. The amendment would prohibit a governor from using a partial veto to create or increase, or authorize the creation or increase of, a tax or fee. The renewed debate follows litigation over Governor Tony Evers’ 2023 partial veto that altered a school-funding provision to extend a per-pupil revenue increase through 2425; the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld that veto in 2025. Wisconsin voters have previously amended the Constitution to narrow other forms of partial veto. A governor needs a veto to check legislative spending, but changing a bill is different from rejecting part of it. Taxes and fees are especially sensitive because voters expect elected legislators to affirmatively authorize what government collects.
