Evers Announces Last Chance to Apply for a Pardon Before Next Governor Takes Office

- With one week remaining, Wisconsin residents have until Oct. 5 to submit pardon applications to Governor Tony Evers, marking the final deadline before his term concludes in January 2027.
- Governor Tony Evers reinstated the pardons process in 2019 after it had been dormant for nine years, stating that offering over 2,000 second chances has been one of his administration's most important endeavors.
