Michigan Right to Vote has submitted requests to the Board of State Canvassers to start two ballot petition drives for voting rights.

The first proposal establishes the fundamental right to vote and inserts language into the Michigan Constitution protecting that right for all citizens. The second proposal removes the possibility that certain initiatives can be enacted by the Legislature without ever going before the governor --- or voters.

The Board of Canvassers is expected to review both measures on February 11th.
