Election Day voter registration
Read more: Proposal 3 aims to "Promote the Vote;" not everyone involved
This is a yes or not vote on expanding voter registration options. It has been billed as the Promote the Vote proposal. The Board of State Canvassers officially approved wording, which will be on the ballot, is:
- Proposal 18-3
A proposal to authorize automatic and Election Day voter registration, no-reason absentee voting, and straight-ticket voting; and add current legal requirements for military and overseas voting and post-election audits to the Michigan Constitution.
This proposed constitutional amendment would allow a United States citizen who is qualified to vote in Michigan to:
- Become automatically registered to vote when applying for, updating or renewing a driver’s license or state-issued personal identification card, unless the person declines.
- Simultaneously register to vote with proof of residency and obtain a ballot during the 2-week period prior to an election, up to and including Election Day.
- Obtain an absent voter ballot without providing a reason.
- Cast a straight-ticket vote for all candidates of a particular political party when voting in a partisan general election.
Should this proposal be adopted?"
