The Constitution Party of Wisconsin (CPoW) is an affiliate party of the national Constitution Party, founded in 1991 as part of the U.S. Taxpayers Party. The Constitution Party is a right-wing and theocratic political party in the United States. The party asserts that the United States is a Christian nation founded on the Bible and that American jurisprudence should be restored to what the party claims is its "Biblical foundations". The party supports strict adherence to the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Wisconsin Constitution. The party takes very conservative stances on social and fiscal issues.

Ballot access
Under Wisconsin law, a "recognized political party" is a political party that qualifies for a separate ballot or column on the ballot, based on receiving at least 1% of the votes for a statewide office at the previous November election or through acquiring the required number of petition signatures (10,000 electors, including at least 1,000 electors residing in each of at least three separate congressional districts). At the beginning of 2013, Wisconsin had three recognized political parties: Constitution, Democratic, and Republican.
