    Elections 10 Elections in Wisconsin: February 2012 through May 2013 primary, spring, general, and special elections Carvers at the Wisconsin State Historical Society (Wisconsin Historical Society) 864 WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK 2013 – 2014 ELECTIONS IN WISCONSIN I. 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 January 2012 there were about 4,378,741 potential voters 18 years of age and older. According to the Government Accountability Board, an estimated 70.1% of eligible vot- ers cast 3,071,434 ballots in the 2012 presidential election.

Jason Fields on Not Seeking Re-Election to the State Legislature in 2020 Madison – Today, Rep. Jason Fields (D-Milwaukee) announced that he will not be seeking re-election to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2020. Rep. Fields released the following statement: “After much consideration about the future, and conversations with my dear wife, La Tasha Fields, I have decided to not seek re-election to the Wisconsin State Assembly, District 11. It has been an extraordinary honor to serve my constituents in Milwaukee and Glendale in the Wisconsin legislature. I’ve worked hard to get real results that people deserve from their state government. It has been one of the greatest pleasures and most exciting adventures of my life, but it is time to move forward and explore ways for me to make an even greater impact, helping even more people. I would like to thank my staffers, Jen and Ryan, or as we call ourselves “Team Fields”, who worked side by side with me this session to make sure that the 11th district and Wisconsin had quality representation that prioritized getting things done. I couldn't have asked for a better team and am grateful for their service. Each time I’ve walked into the Capitol, I have never once taken for granted the history, the honor and the severity of the work I’ve performed. I take my sworn oath to represent my communities incredibly seriously.
