Relating to: fees for obtaining the official voter registration list. (FE)
This Wisconsin bill aimed to update the rules for paying to access the official voter registration list. It allowed individuals to request an electronic copy of the list for a fee set by the state commission, capped at $250. The legislation also permitted an additional charge to cover the costs of printing and mailing a physical copy of the list. Although the bill passed the legislature, the Governor vetoed it, and it did not become law.
