Electoral reform in Michigan

Electoral reform in Michigan

Electoral reform in Michigan refers to efforts, proposals and plans to change the election and voting laws in the Wolverine State. In 2004, Ferndale, Michigan residents overwhelmingly passed Proposal B, implementing instant-runoff voting [ [http://firv.org/ Ferndale For Instant Runoff Voting] .] . Ballot access laws in Michigan are rather restrictive, as they currently requires a political party to submit 38,024 signatures, including 100 signatures from half of all Michigan Congressional districts. The Michigan Third Parties Coalition is seeking to relax those requirements [ [http://mithirdparties.org/takeaction.html Michigan Third Parties Coalition] .] . So far, no bills have been introduced in the Michigan Legislature to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. election-stub
