The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging the informed and active participation of citizens in government. It influences public policy through education and advocacy.

KNOW WHAT YOU SIGN

Petition drives are gearing up in Michigan.  Many circulators will be in our communities in the next year – especially during warm-weather months – attempting to get a minimum of 500,000 valid signatures so that the proposal can be part of the November, 2026 ballot. 

The language stating what the ballot proposal would do is limited to 100 words and the circulator has no obligation to provide detailed information.  The League is providing this brief explanation  of the potential ballot proposals that have been approved by the Michigan Board of Canvassers (frequently updated).

Did you know that all voter registration forms require the voter to attest to their citizenship under penalty of perjury?  Despite this, a proposal to amend Michigan’s constitution is circulating that would require voters to provide documents to prove their citizenship in person at a clerk’s office.  If the name on the birth certificate does not match a voter’s current ID, the voter will have to present other paperwork – marriage license, court orders, etc. This will block many voters who don’t have easy access to these documents from exercising their constitutional right to vote.   We suggest that voters DECLINE TO SIGN the petition. Read this piece authorized the by the LWVMI co-presidents published in Bridge Magazine titled, “A Solution to a Problem that doesn't exist".
