威斯康星州州长Evers再赦免206人：任内赦免总数达2,443人创州纪录
威斯康星州州长办公室10月23日宣布，州长 Tony Evers 再次行使赦免权，赦免206人。至此，他任内赦免总人数达到2,443人，为威斯康星州历任州长之最。
Evers 2019年上任后恢复了该州的赦免程序——他的前任在八年任期内没有批准过任何赦免。按州长第30号行政令确立的资格标准：申请人所犯罪行须为威斯康星州重罪、刑期已执行完毕至少五年、没有未决的刑事指控，且依法须登记为性罪犯者不具资格。赦免可恢复被赦免者担任陪审员、竞选公职和取得部分职业执照的资格，但不会消除其犯罪记录。
Evers 的第二个也是最后一个任期将于2027年1月结束。州长办公室此前宣布，有意在本届政府任内获得赦免审核的申请须在10月5日前提交。Evers 在9月宣布这一截止日期时表示，恢复赦免程序、给予全州人民2,000多次改过自新的机会，是他担任州长以来完成的最重要的工作之一。

Wisconsin Gov. Evers Grants 206 More Pardons, Bringing His Term Total to a Record 2,443
MADISON, Wis. — The Office of Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers announced on October 23 that the governor has granted pardons to 206 more people, bringing the total number of pardons he has issued in office to 2,443 — the most by any governor in state history.
Evers reinstated the state's pardon process after taking office in 2019; his predecessor had granted no pardons in eight years. Under the eligibility criteria in the governor's Executive Order #30, an applicant must have committed a Wisconsin felony, completed their entire sentence at least five years ago, and have no pending criminal charges; people required to register as sex offenders are ineligible. A pardon restores the rights to serve on a jury, run for public office and hold certain professional licenses, but it does not expunge the conviction from the person's record.
Evers' second and final term ends in January 2027. His office previously announced that applications to be considered for a pardon under his administration had to be submitted by October 5. Announcing that deadline in September, Evers said that restoring the pardon process and granting more than 2,000 second chances to people across the state was among the most important work of his time as governor.
