Yay! Michigan Board of Canvassers approves putting "Promote the Vote" on Nov. ballot

This amendment to the Michigan Constitution provides a common-sense approach to safeguarding our elections, puts voters first, and removes barriers for working families by:

Protect the right to vote a secret ballot
Ensure military service members and overseas voters get their ballots in time for their votes to count
Provide voters with the option to vote straight party
Automatically register citizens to vote at the Secretary of State’s office unless the citizen declines
Allow a citizen to register to vote anytime with proof of residency
Provide all registered voters access to an absentee ballot for any reason
Ensure the accuracy and integrity of elections by auditing election results.

Between legalizing marijuana, general disgust at the Republican-dominated State government, and this initiative, Michigan voters seem more energized than they have in years. We'll work to keep voters energized right up to November 6.
