Thank you for signing! Now take the next step:
Calling your state representative is the most effective way to make your voice heard to ensure that every person in Michigan can exercise their constitutional right to vote using an absentee ballot. On August 4, 1.6 million Michiganders voted by absentee ballot. Secretary of State Benson estimates that the total number of absentee voters will increase to 3 million or more for the November 3 general election. Join us as we demand that state legislators enact the following bills:
- Senate Bill 757 authorizes certain city or township clerks to open absent voter ballot return envelopes on the day before Election Day (currently, opening envelopes is not allowed before Election Day, which can slow the count)
- Senate Bill 756 allows for election inspectors to work in shifts to count absentee ballots after the polls close on Election Day (currently, shifts are not allowed which lead to long days for volunteers)
- House Bill 5987 allows mailed ballots to count if postmarked by Election Day if they arrive within 48 hours of the election
- House Bill 5991 would require clerks to contact voters if the signature on the absentee ballot envelope is missing or does not match the one on their registration
Fill out this form with your address and we will send you your state representative’s contact information in addition to a script you can use.
