MI Right to Vote: Blog Post 5: 100 Word Summaries for both proposals

MI Right to Vote has both of our 100 word summaries reviewed and approved by the Michigan Board of Canvassers

We are one step closer to having our petitions ready to be printed. The Board of Canvassers approved our updated 100 word summary for both of our proposals. 

See the MI Right to Vote 100 word summaries below for our Right to Vote and Citizen Initiative Reform.

The next step is going to the printer with the changes and having those changes approved, and presenting a proof copy to the Board the Canvassers.

 

Hopefully all of this will be completed shortly and you will have a petition in your hands to sign to get us that much closer toward being on the ballot.
