Prohibit Government Discrimination or Preferential Treatment Amendment
Prohibit Government Discrimination or Preferential Treatment Amendment
Wisconsin · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Prohibit the government from discriminating or granting preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin
A yes vote means
Government agencies cannot consider race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin when making decisions about hiring, contracts, or admissions.
A no vote means
The government retains the ability to consider race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin as factors in decisions if they choose to.
Simple explanation
Imagine your town has a rule that says the city can't give special treatment to people based on what they look like or where they're from — everyone gets treated the same way. This measure would make that a law, so government jobs, college admissions, and contracts would all go based on who's most qualified, not someone's race, gender, or background.
