Wisconsin voters are warned not to gamble on election outcomes.

State law prohibits anyone from voting in an election if they’ve made a bet or wager on its outcome. Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe says the growing popularity of prediction market platforms has prompted the warning.

Voters who bet on an election could be disqualified from voting in that race and could face further legal consequences. The bipartisan elections commission recently approved a memo outlining concerns over election wagering and prediction markets.
