One of Wisconsin's U.S. Senate seats was up for election, as well as Wisconsin's nine seats in the United States House of Representatives, the sixteen even-numbered seats in the Wisconsin State Senate, and all 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly. Voters also chose eleven electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which then participated in selecting the president of the United States. The '''2000 Fall Partisan Primary''' was held on September 12, 2000.

In the Fall general election, the Democratic presidential candidate, Vice President Al Gore, narrowly won Wisconsin's eleven electoral votes, defeating Texas Governor George W. Bush by a mere 5,708 votes. All nine of Wisconsin's incumbent members of Congress were reelected. Democrats gained one seat in the Wisconsin Senate; Republicans gained one seat in the Wisconsin Assembly.<ref name="2000gen">{{cite report |url= https://elections.wi.gov/sites/elections.wi.gov/files/2000_General_Election_Summary_Results.pdf |title= Results of Fall General Election - 11/07/2000 |publisher= Wisconsin State Elections Board |date= May 10, 2001 |accessdate= February 18, 2021 }}</ref>

The '''2000 Wisconsin Spring Election''' was held April 4, 2000. This election featured a contested election for Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Presidential preference primary for both major political parties, as well as various nonpartisan local and judicial offices.<ref name="2000springen">{{cite report|url=https://elections.wi.gov/sites/elections.wi.gov/files/2000_SpringElection_SummaryResults.pdf |title= Results of Spring General Election - 04/04/2000 |publisher= Wisconsin State Elections Board |date= May 17, 2000 |accessdate= February 18, 2021 }}</ref> The '''2000 Wisconsin Spring Primary''' was held on February 15, 2000.

Wisconsin Republicans celebrated the results of the April election with the victory of their preferred candidate in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. The Presidential preference primary was not seriously contested on either the Democratic or Republican side, as most candidates had already dropped out before Wisconsin's vote.

===Judiciary=== ====State Supreme Court==== {{see further|2000 Wisconsin Supreme Court election}} In the Supreme Court election (held during the spring elections) , incumbent Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Diane S. Sykes defeated Milwaukee municipal court judge Louis B. Butler in the April general election. Justice Sykes had been appointed to the court in 1999 by Governor Tommy Thompson, to replace Justice Donald W. Steinmetz, who had retired. Justice Steinmetz's term was already set to expire in 2000, thus the election did not need to be scheduled any earlier than it otherwise would have been.

Brown was elected to his fourth six-year term. * In District IV, Judge Margaret J. Vergeront was elected to her second six-year term.

====State Circuit Courts==== Forty nine of the state's 241 circuit court seats were up for election in 2000. One of those seats—in Waupaca County—was newly created by the 1999 budget act passed by the Wisconsin Legislature.<ref>{{cite act|url=https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/1999/related/acts/9.pdf |title= An Act relating to: state finances and appropriations, constituting the executive budget act of the 1999 legislature |legislature= Wisconsin Legislature |index= 9 |year= 1999 |pages= 626, 685, 686 |accessdate= February 19, 2021 }}</ref> Eight of the seats were contested.
