• Question 1, partial veto: Bars the governor from using the partial veto to create or raise any tax or fee. A yes vote adds that limit. It follows Gov. Evers' 2023 budget veto that let school districts raise revenue for 400 years.
• Question 2, places of worship during an emergency: Bars the state and local governments from closing places of worship or banning gatherings in them during a declared emergency, including a public health emergency. A yes vote adds that ban.
• Question 3, government discrimination: Bars state and local government from discriminating against, or giving preferential treatment to, anyone on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in public jobs, schools, contracts and administration.
