[APRIL 1, 1998] In November 1992 Michigan voters approved—by the sizable margin of 59–41 percent—an amendment to the state constitution that limits the number of terms a person may serve in various public offices. These lifetime limits affect officeholders sworn into office on or after January 1, 1993.
Limited to two terms are governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and state senators (terms of office are four years).
Limited to three terms are state representatives (term of office is two years). Terms served need not be consecutive, and if less than half a term is served in an office, it does not count toward the limitation.
Note that limits are not imposed on the number of offices in which a person may serve—only on the number of terms s/he may serve in each.
