When is the 2026 Wisconsin primary election?

What races are on the ballot in Wisconsin in 2026?
Wisconsin's November 3, 2026 ballot includes the open governor's race (with lieutenant governor), attorney general, secretary of state and state treasurer, all eight US House districts, the 99-member State Assembly and odd-numbered State Senate districts, plus county offices and any referenda. No US Senate seat is up; Wisconsin's next Senate election is in 2028. A state Supreme Court seat was decided in the April 2026 spring election.
How does Wisconsin's primary work?
Wisconsin holds an open partisan primary on August 11, 2026. Voters do not register by party; any registered voter may choose one party's ballot at the primary and vote only in that party's races, since crossing between parties on a single ballot invalidates those votes. The highest vote-getter in each party advances to the November 3 general election, with no runoff.
Why is the 2026 Wisconsin Governor race important?
Wisconsin's 2026 governor race is an open contest: two-term Democrat Tony Evers is not seeking re-election, the state's first open governor's race since 2010. As one of the nation's most closely divided swing states, Wisconsin features contested primaries in both parties on August 11, followed by a November 3 general election that will decide control of the state's executive branch.
