Ballot title
The ballot title for Question 3 was as follows:
| “ | Should vocational, technical and adult education be controlled by the state and paid for out of state tax revenues? (Note: Vocational, technical and adult education is now controlled locally and principally paid for from local property tax revenues.) | ” |
Path to the ballot
A simple majority vote is required during one legislative session for the Wisconsin State Legislature to place an advisory question on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 50 votes in the Wisconsin State Assembly and 17 votes in the Wisconsin State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Advisory questions do not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
