  • Political Parties: State Organizations and Current Party Platforms
    Political 9 Parties Wisconsin political parties: state organizations and current party platforms Moon Crater (NASA) 864 WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK 2009 – 2010 POLITICAL PARTY ORGANIZATION IN WISCONSIN What Is a Political Party? A political party is a private, voluntary organization of people with similar political beliefs that vies with other parties for control of government. Political parties help voters select their government officials and create a consensus on the basic principles that direct governmental activities and processes. Political parties in the United States have traditionally provided an organized framework for the orderly performance of several basic political tasks necessary to representative democracy. Parties act to: • Provide a stable institution for building coalitions based on shared principles and priorities. • Recruit and nominate candidates for elective and appointive offices in government. • Promote the election of the party’s slate of candidates. • Guard the integrity of election procedures and vote canvassing. • Educate the voters by defining issues, taking policy positions, and formulating programs. U.S. parties offer a marked contrast to the party apparatus in other nations. In many parts of the world, political parties begin with defined ideologies and programs. Their members are recruited on the basis of these ideas, and there is not much room for disagreement within the ranks. In other cases, parties represent regional interests or ethnic groups. By contrast, parties in the United States are loosely organized groups reflecting a broad spectrum of interests. They are truly populist parties in the sense that they accommodate diversity and are instruments of party activists at the grass roots level. Political ideology, as stated in a party’s national platform, is formulated first at the local level and then refined through debate and compromise at meetings representing successively larger geographic areas.

The Wisconsin Electorate History of the Suffrage. When Wisconsin became a state in 1848, suffrage (the right to vote) was restricted to white or Indian males who were citizens of the United States or white male im- migrants in the process of being naturalized. To be eligible to vote, these men had to be at least 21 years of age and Wisconsin residents for at least one year preceding the election. Wisconsin extended suffrage to male “colored persons” in a constitutional referendum held in November 1849. In 1908, the Wisconsin Constitution was amended to require that voters had to be citizens of the United States. Women’s suffrage came with the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. (Wisconsin was one of the first states in the nation to ratify this amendment, on June 10, 1919.) The most recent major suffrage change was to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 years of age. This was accomplished by the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified by the states in July 1971. Size of the Electorate. Based on information from the Department of Administration, it is estimated that in November 2008 there were about 4,331,000 potential voters 18 years of age and older. An estimated 69% of eligible voters cast 2,983,417 ballots in the 2008 presidential election.
