Incumbent justice Louis J. Ceci (appointed to fill a vacancy on the court) was elected, unopposed. Background Ceci had unsuccessfully sought election to a different seat on the court in 1980. He was appointed to the court in 1982 to fill a vacancy left when John Louis Coffey resigned to accept a federal judgeship. The Constitution of Wisconsin stipulates that early elections full terms can be triggered by a vacancy. The constitution stipulates that it is impermissible for more than one seat to be up for election in the same year. Elections must be moved to an earlier year after a vacancy, but only if there is a more immediate year without a scheduled contest.Wisconsin Question 2, Unified Court System Amendment (April 1977) https://ballotpedia.org/Wisconsin_Question_2,_Unified_Court_System_Amendment_(April_1977) Ballotpedia 27 March 2025 en All supreme court elections are held during the spring elections in early April.Portraits of Justice https://www.wicourts.gov/courts/supreme/docs/portraitsofjustice.pdf Wisconsin Courts Wisconsin Historical Society Press 27 March 2025 IX, X, and 59 2003 The seat had last had an election in 1978, and if the vacancy had not occurred would not have been scheduled to have had an election until 1988. However, the vacancy advanced the date at which the next election would be held. Since there were was no supreme court election scheduled in 1984, but there was an election scheduled in 1983, the vacancy moved the election to the next possible date, 1984. This allowed Ceci to serve as justice for two years before facing election.
