Overview
- Evers signed an executive order Tuesday setting a special legislative session for April 14.
- Evers frames the amendment as a safeguard for the “fair maps” enacted in 2024 ahead of the next redistricting cycle.
- The measure would add a constitutional ban on partisan gerrymandering in Wisconsin.
- The amendment must pass two consecutive legislative sessions before it can be placed on the ballot for voters.
- Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he would listen but warned it could be “a gerrymander under a different title,” and GOP leaders have previously gaveled in and out of Evers-called special sessions.
