The fall general election is Tuesday, with polls open statewide from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Statewide races
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who withdrew from the race only to reenter one week later after Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez withdrew from the race over campaign finance irregularities, faces U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany (R–Hazelhurst) in the race to replace Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
Running with Crowley and Tiffany, respectively, are lieutenant governor candidates Sarah Godlewski, the current secretary of state, and David Varnam, the former Lancaster mayor.
The attorney general race is a rematch of the 2022 race between Democratic incumbent Josh Kaul and Republican Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney.
The secretary of state race to replace Godlewski features Democratic Milwaukee Ald. JoCasta Zammaripa, Republican Jay Schroeder of Neenah, and Green Party candidate Pete Karas of Muskego.
The state treasurer race features Democratic Marathon County Sup. Yee Leng Xiong of Weston against Republican incumbent John Leiber.
Legislative races
This year is the first time odd-numbered state Senate districts have had elections since redistricting in early 2024. The redistricting did not change Congressional seats.

Jenna Jacobson (D–Oregon) defeated Corrine Hendrickson of Blanchardville and Lisa White of Potosi in the August primary to face Sen. Howard Marklein (R–Spring Green) in November.
Bill Oemichen of the Town of New Glarus defeated Josh Mitness of Monroe and Bryna Caves of Albany to win the 50th Assembly District Democratic nomination. Oemichen faces Republican Jon Aleckson, Town of Springdale outside of Mount Horeb, to replace Jacobson.
State Rep. Travis Tranel (R–Town of Hazel Green) is opposed in the 49th Assembly District by John Rindy of Potosi.
Rep. Todd Novak (R–Dodgeville) is opposed in the 51st Assembly District by Democrat Ben Gruber of Arena.
