The new initiative aims to gather about 425,000 signatures before July 11. If successful it will be placed on November ballots to be approved by voters.
A new ballot initiative has been filed in Michigan aimed to improve both security and access to polls.
The"Promote the Vote 2022" ballot initiative would amend the state constitution creating a new early voting system that would give voters nine days of early, in-person voting. The initiative would also provide state funding for prepaid postage on absentee ballots. A 95-year-old World War II veteran stated two of his mail-in ballots were denied because of incomplete voter registration. However, he is unable to register online in his home state of Texas, and as a result, may miss out on voting in the upcoming election for the first time in his life.

Promote the Vote will also allow voters to request absentee ballots be mailed to them for all future elections without having to submit the request each time, as long as the voter is qualified to vote. The initiative would also permit voters to continue to vote without identification as long as they sign an affidavit to verify their identity.
The initiative would ensure the outcome of Michigan elections is determined solely by the votes cast by Michigan voters by directing the state Board of Canvassers to certify election results and clearly establishing that the Board of Canvassers is the entity certifying the results of elections.
