On October 14, the Wisconsin legislature passed two bills that make minor improvements for independent candidates and minor parties. AB 149 makes it easier for qualified parties to nominate candidates for presidential elector. Existing law said that qualified parties could only nominate presidential elector candidates by a meeting of their legislators, or their nominees for state legislature. The bill says a party can also nominate presidential elector candidates with a meeting of the state committee.

AB 35 says independent candidates for federal and state office may withdraw.
