Proposal 2 Vote YES to end gerrymandering in Michigan. ✔
Partisan redistricting, also known as gerrymandering, occurs when politicians draw voting map lines unfairly to benefit themselves or their political party. Under this proposal:
  • Political districts would be drawn by a citizen's commission instead of politicians
  • Redistricting would be open to the public rather than done secretly
  • Federal laws would be followed regarding minority representation
  • Federal laws would be followed regarding equal population representation
  • Politicians would be more accountable to citizens
Proposal 3 Vote YES  to create fair rules that remove barriers to voting and make voting more secure. ✔
This proposal would:
  • 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.
