The Wisconsin Elections Commission recommends that all municipalities use a .gov or wi.gov email address, and warns against free email services. Source
WEC has said: “All WisVote users will eventually be required to have a .gov domain for official email communications.” WEC also says: “There is not yet a set date for this change.” Source
