Did you know that all voter registration forms require the voter to attest to their citizenship under penalty of perjury? Despite this, a proposal to amend Michigan’s constitution is circulating that would require voters to provide documents to prove their citizenship in person at a clerk’s office. If the name on the birth certificate does not match a voter’s current ID, the voter will have to present other paperwork – marriage license, court orders, etc. This will block many voters who don’t have easy access to these documents from exercising their constitutional right to vote. We suggest that voters DECLINE TO SIGN the petition. Read this piece authorized by the LWVMI co-presidents published in Bridge Magazine titled, “A Solution to a Problem that Doesn’t Exist.”

Promote the Vote Action (PTVA), officially has launched NoRedTapeForMI.com. We are providing this website to help educate Michiganders about the dangers of the proposed initiatives from the Committee to Protect Voters’ Rights and Americans for Citizen Voting-Michigan, both of which would make it more difficult for eligible U.S. citizens to vote. The site provides key information about these initiatives as well as opportunities from PTVA
