Senate Bill 916 proposes several amendments to Wisconsin election laws aimed at improving the voting process. The bill mandates that city election ballots must include sufficient space for write-in candidates, ensuring that voters have the option to express their preferences beyond the listed candidates. Additionally, it removes the requirement for independent candidates to appear on partisan primary ballots, streamlining the ballot process for state offices.

Furthermore, the bill updates the criteria for establishing proof of residence for voter registration by allowing the use of temporary operators licenses and temporary identification cards issued by the Department of Transportation. This change is intended to simplify the registration process and make it more accessible for voters. Overall, the bill reflects a series of minor but significant adjustments to enhance the electoral process in Wisconsin.
