Elections in Wisconsin |
---|
The 2012 Wisconsin State Assembly elections were held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. All 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly were up for election. Before the election, 58 Assembly seats were held by Republicans, 38 seats were held by Democrats, 1 was held by an independent, and 2 were vacant. The primary election was held on August 14, 2012.
This was the first Assembly election after the legislative redistricting following the 2010 United States census. The maps were passed into law as 2011 Wisconsin Act 43, and are widely considered one of the most severe Republican gerrymanders in U.S. history.
Republicans flipped the independent-held seat and reclaimed two vacant seats, to enter the 101st Wisconsin Legislature with 60 of 99 State Assembly seats.
Elected members took office on January 7, 2013.
