MI RIGHT TO VOTE
"ARTICLE I, DECLARATION OF RIGHTS Voting. Sec. 28. THE RIGHT TO VOTE IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT THAT SHALL BE PROMOTED AND ENCOURAGED BY THE STATE BY TAKING ALL REASONABLE STEPS NECESSARY TO ASSURE THAT EVERY CITIZEN RESIDING IN THIS STATE WHO IS QUALIFIED TO VOTE SHALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE IN ALL ELECTIONS."
“The Michigan Constitution is very close to the People. One of the proposed amendments explicitly makes the right to vote fundamental under that Constitution. The other amendment, among other things, would prevent the legislature from interfering with the People’s right of referendum. It is clearly in the public interest for the People to adopt these amendments.”
