The 2012 Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election was a special election to elect the governor and lieutenant governor of Wisconsin. It resulted in voters re-electing incumbent Republican governor Scott Walker over the Democratic candidate Tom Barrett by a larger margin than he had in 2010, in which Walker had also faced Barrett. Recall organizers opposed Walker's agenda, particularly his limiting of collective bargaining rights for state employees and they collected over 900,000 signatures to initiate the recall election process. There was also a recall for Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch. She won her race, defeating Democrat Mahlon Mitchell, making her the first lieutenant governor to run in and survive a recall.

  • L'élection du gouverneur du Wisconsin de 2012, ainsi que de son adjoint dit lieutenant-gouverneur, a eu lieu le 5 juin 2012. Cette élection fait suite à une procédure de recall qui permet, si un nombre de 900 000 signatures est atteint, de révoquer le gouverneur en place et de rejouer l'élection, élection qui s'était déroulée en 2010 et qui avait vu s'affronter le républicain Scott Walker et le maire démocrate de Milwaukee Tom Barrett. Cette procédure, exceptionnelle puisqu'elle est la troisième de ce type dans l'histoire des États-Unis, avait été lancée à l'initiative des démocrates, qui s'opposaient à la politique de réduction des dépenses publiques du gouverneur républicain nouvellement élu Scott Walker.
