On November 3, the Wisconsin legislature passed SB 116, which moves the non-presidential primary from September to August, and which also moves various deadlines for ballot access to earlier dates.

The independent presidential petition is now due in early August instead of early September; the petition deadline for a full party is now May 1 instead of June 1; and the independent non-presidential candidate petitions are now due in June instead of July. It is considered certain that the Governor will sign the bill.
