On March 25, Wisconsin AB 223 was given to Governor Tony Evers. The bill bans out-of-state circulators for candidate petitions (except for presidential petitions). The Governor must act on the bill by April 1. The bill also bans out-of-state circulators for recall petitions. It is somewhat likely that the Governor will veto the bill. Wisconsin is in the Seventh Circuit, and the Seventh Circuit ruled in 2000 in Krislov v Rednour, 226 F.3d 851, that bans on out-of-state circulators are unconstitutional.

On March 24, Florida held three special legislative elections.

In the State Senate 14th district, the vote is: Democratic 50.2%; Republican 49.8%. That result could be changed once more postal ballots are counted. In 2022, the last time this district voted, the results were: Republican 54.6%; Democratic 45.4%.

In the State House, 51st district, the vote is: Republicans 54.2%; Democratic 45.8%. In November 2024, the results had been: Republican 56.9%; Democratic 43.1%.

In the State House, 87th district, the vote is: Democratic 51.2%; Republican 48.8%. In November 2024, the results had been: Republican 56.9%; Democratic 43.1%.

On March 23, the California Secretary of State released a tentative list of candidates who will appear on the ballot for partisan state office and U.S. House. The list is tentative because there are still eight lawsuits pending for excluded candidates.

The tentative list includes sixty-two candidates for Governor. This the second-highest number of candidates for a single office (not including presidential elector) in California history. The highest was 135 candidates running for Governor in the recall election of 2003.

Among the 62 gubernatorial candidates are 24 Democrats, 23 with the label “No party preference”, 13 Republicans, and one each from the Libertarian and Peace & Freedom Parties. Included in the candidates with “no party preference” label are the candidates of the Constitution, American Solidarity, and Socialist Workers Party (respectively, Don Grundmann, Duane Laynes, and Margaret Trowe).
