Bill > AB374

This bill makes several changes to Wisconsin's election laws to align with the federal Electoral Count Reform Act (ECRA), which aims to clarify the process of counting electoral votes for presidential elections and prevent disputes. Key provisions include establishing deadlines for publishing presidential election timelines, adjusting timelines for canvassing and reporting election results to be faster for presidential elections, and creating new procedures for recounts and appeals in presidential elections to ensure timely resolution. For instance, it shortens the time for county clerks to submit election results to the state commission and sets stricter deadlines for completing recounts and court appeals related to presidential elections, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that Wisconsin's presidential electors are certified and appointed in accordance with federal law and in a timely manner.
