MADISON, Wis. — Voters in Madison were asked their opinion on multiple questions about the makeup of the city’s Common Council as part of Tuesday’s spring election.
The questions were non-binding advisory referenda, meaning they won’t hold the power to make any changes themselves, but could be used as the city decides how to make its government more representative.
Currently, city alders serve two-year terms. The one question asked whether those terms should be four years instead. Voters said no to that with more than 55% of the vote.
