A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled “Michigan election law,” (MCL 168.1 to 168.992) by adding section 492c.
House Bill No. 5871 by a group of representatives and referred to the Committee on Government Operations, proposes an amendment to the Michigan Election Law of 1954 (MCL 168.1 to 168.992) by adding section 492c. The primary provision of this bill is to explicitly prohibit individuals who are not United States citizens from registering to vote or participating in any federal, state, or local elections within the state of Michigan. This legislative change aims to ensure that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote, thereby reinforcing the integrity of the electoral process. The bill does not specify any funding allocations or financial figures, as its focus is on the legal eligibility criteria for voters. By amending the existing Michigan Election Law, this bill introduces a clear statutory restriction that aligns with federal voting regulations.
