A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled “The code of criminal procedure,” by amending section 11d of chapter XVII (MCL 777.11d), as amended by 2018 PA 661.
Senate Bills 367 and 368 would codify provisions of Proposal 22-2 into the Michigan Election Law. They would prescribe the process for implementing and administering the constitutionally required nine consecutive days of early voting, for eight hours per day, for each statewide and Federal election. They also would allow a municipality to set additional days and hours of early voting beyond what is constitutionally required and to use early voting for elections that were not statewide or Federal. In addition, they would allow more than one municipality to jointly conduct early voting through a municipal agreement or a county agreement and prescribe the requirements of those agreements. The bills would make disclosing an election result from an early voting site before 8 PM on election day a felony.
