Michigan voter ID law

Senator Gary Peters says the Trump administration's efforts to change the rules around mail-in voting are a reason to stay vigilant, even after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the new restrictions.

Both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Michigan Supreme Court declined to force the state to add a constitutional amendment regarding voter ID and proof of citizenship to the November ballot.

In response to a request by the petition campaign behind a voter ID and proof-of-citizenship amendment to the state Constitution, Michigan says the state's judicial system can handle the dispute.

The U.S. Supreme Court is giving Michigan until noon Wednesday to explain why the petition campaign should be denied a place on the November ballot.

Earlier this week, the Michigan Board of State Canvassers disagreed about whether to accept late proof that the campaign collected enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot.

House Republicans are creating a committee to investigate a state elections board after the board members deadlocked on whether to advance a petition campaign aimed at tightening Michigan's voter ID laws and requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.

A review of petition signatures by Bureau of Elections staff finds Americans for Citizen Voting likely came up short in its submission for a constitutional amendment.

A Michigan ballot campaign that would require residents to show proof of citizenship while registering to vote could start collecting signatures soon.

Republicans are proposing a constitutional amendment to toughen Michigan’s voting rules. It could be headed to the statewide ballot next year.

The campaign working to toughen Michigan’s voter ID laws says it turned in more than half a million petition signatures to qualify for the 2024 election cycle.
