The Elections Board was created by Chapter 334, Laws of 1973, which transferred responsibility for administration of the state's election laws to the Board from the Secretary of State. The Elections Board was eliminated by Wisconsin Act 1 and its duties were assigned to the Government Accountability Board beginning September 1, 2007.

The Elections Board administers the state election and campaign laws, investigates violations of such laws, imposes forfeitures on violators, and notifies the district attorney or the attorney general of any grounds for civil or criminal prosecution. The Board also administers the campaign finance registration and reporting system enacted in 1973.
