Wisconsin Advisory Referendum
Wisconsin Work Requirement for Welfare Benefits Advisory Question
Question 3, the state-wide advisory question, would ask voters if able-bodied childless adults should be required to look for work in order to receive welfare benefits. The question is not legally binding and would not enact a work requirement law for welfare benefits. Currently, state law requires able-bodied individuals without dependents to look for work in order to receive unemployment insurance. There is also a work requirement for Wisconsin's food stamp program, Wisconsin Foodshare, but the requirement has been waived since October 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Ballot Wording Shall able-bodied, childless adults be required to look for work in order to receive taxpayer-funded welfare benefits? YES A "yes" vote supports advising the state legislature to require "able-bodied, childless adults... to look for work in order to receive taxpayer-funded welfare benefits." NO A "no" vote opposes advising the state legislature to require "able-bodied, childless adults... to look for work in order to receive taxpayer-funded welfare benefits." Milwaukee County Advisory Abortion Question
Question 4 is a Milwaukee County non-binding referendum. It asks for a simple yes or no vote on the following question:
Ballot Wording Should Wisconsin Statute 940.04, which bans abortion at any stage of pregnancy without exception for rape, incest, or health of the patient, be repealed to allow legal access to abortion care?

The legislature may authorize, by law, courts to revoke a person's release for a violation of a condition of release.YES A "yes" vote supports amending the state constitution to authorize judges to consider the following conditions when imposing and setting cash bail: - a previous conviction of a violent crime,
