The primary election is scheduled for August 13, 2024. The filing deadline to appear on the ballot is June 1, 2024.

This election will be significantly affected by the legislative maps drawn as a result of the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision in Clarke v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, which declared the previous legislative district map to be unconstitutional on December 22, 2023. The court was in the process of selecting a remedial plan, when the legislature chose to embrace the remedial map proposal from Governor Tony Evers. Evers signed the plan into law on February 19, 2024.

Under the new maps, these are expected to be the first competitive elections for the Assembly since 2010, when Republicans won control of the chamber. Democrats are expected to gain a number of seats, and while the maps are still considered slightly Republican-leaning, either major party could win a majority of seats if they win a majority of the popular vote in the state. Over 40 incumbent representatives have been drawn into districts with one or more other incumbent, with most of them being Republicans.

An important factor for this election is that, as of the first fiscal quarter, the Democratic Party has outraised their Republican counterparts at a rate of fifteen to one. With the Democratic party raising nearly $6 million dollars since the start of 2024, while the Republican Party has raised only $399,049 since the start of 2024.
