NEW VOTING DISTRICTS


Fox Cities voters likely will be aligned under new voting districts following the new Fair Maps legislation signed into law on February 19, 2024.

Finding the new detailed maps of our Fox Cities voting districts has been challenging. Click HERE to view interactive web maps showing the borders of the maps originally submitted to the Wisconsin Supreme Court by Gov. Evers in January and the old districts used during the 2022 state legislative election.

Meanwhile, please check MyVote.wi.gov for your voting information. We have learned it will be updated later in March.

Question 1: “Use of private funds in election administration.
Shall section 7 (1) of article III of the constitution be created to provide that private donations and grants may not be applied for, accepted, expended, or used in connection with the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum?”

Question 2: “Election officials: Shall section 7 (2) of article III of the constitution be created to provide that only election officials designated by law may perform tasks in the conduct of primaries, elections, and referendums?”

LWV of Wisconsin Urges NO Vote to Constitutional Amendments #1 and #2


The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin urges you to vote NO on both constitutional amendments which appear on the April 2 ballot. These amendments would hamper efforts for elected clerks to fund and administer elections. They could also make voting more difficult for voters. 

As a nonpartisan organization, the League never supports or opposes candidates or parties, but we are also political and we take stands on important issues. On the issue of the two constitutional amendments on the April 2 ballot, we are urging people to vote No.

League of Women Voters Policy on Candidate Forums and Interviews


The goal of the League of Women Voters is to provide information about candidates and their stands on issues through impartial forums and questionnaires. We want voters to be able to make an informed choice when they cast their ballots.


  • All candidates for a contested position are invited.  We sponsor in-person or virtual forums only if candidates from opposing parties agree to participate. 
  • We solicit questions from the public, but we reserve the right to screen questions to avoid partisanship, duplication, and personal attacks.
  • If it is not possible to provide a forum, we offer an opportunity to record a virtual interview to individual candidates. 
  • We provide written information on candidates on our Vote411.org website. Information is published exactly as it is submitted by the candidates. 


To submit a question to candidates, please send them to voterservice@lwvappletonfoxcities.org. Indicate which position your question is for, such as the Appleton Common Council, Outagamie County Board, etc. We are currently working to organize forums and candidate information for Fox Cities area municipal, county, and school district races. Watch for information on this website.
