Michigan Voting Rights Act
MICHIGAN NEEDS ITS OWN VOTING RIGHTS ACT!
Despite recent progress on voting rights, Black and Brown voters, disabled voters and those whose first language is not English, still face unequal barriers to the ballot box in Michigan. As several states move backwards with severe voting restrictions and Congress lacks the will to restore the federal Voting Rights Act after the Supreme Court gutted a key component, we need Michigan to set a new standard for state-level voting rights. By enacting the Michigan Voting Rights Act (MIVRA or Senate Bills 401, 402, 403, and 404), Michigan can become a national leader in safeguarding the right to vote, meeting a critical local need while joining the growing list of states moving forward to protect this fundamental freedom.
The MIVRA Will Protect Voters of Color and Voters with Disabilities and Strengthen Michigan’s Democracy by
- Providing new legal tools to fight discriminatory voting rules in court.
- Expanding language assistance for voters with limited English proficiency.
- Ensuring advanced public notice of key voting changes, enabling voters to take action.
- Providing important protections and assistance for voters with disabilities.
- Establishing a central hub for election information to increase transparency and promote best practices.
- Requiring places where a court has found voting discrimination to prove that subsequent voting changes will not harm protected voters before they can go into effect.
