A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled “Michigan election law,” by amending section 45 (MCL 168.45), as amended by 1985 PA 160.
This bill proposes an amendment to the Michigan Election Law of 1954, specifically section 45, which was previously amended in 1985. The amendment stipulates that marking a cross (X) or a check mark (?) in the circle under the party name during the general November election in a presidential year should not be interpreted as a direct vote for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates of that party. Instead, it should be considered a vote for the presidential electors selected by the party for the congressional district and the state at large.
