Wisconsin Petitioning Window for Independent Presidential Candidates Finally Opens

Wisconsin does not let independent presidential petitions start to circulate until July 1 of election years.  See 8.20(8)(a).  The law requires 2,000 signatures, due in early August.  Therefore, various presidential campaigns are poised to start tomorrow.

The qualified parties, obviously, do not need to petition for president.  They are the Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, Green, and Constitution Parties.
