The League of Women Voters of MI is asking you to urge your State Legislators to support passage of Senate Bills 401-404 to enact the MI Voting Rights Act (MVRA) in the lame duck session.

For years, federal courts have been chipping away at the protections of the federal Voting Rights Act. It is up to states to lead the way. The MIVRA will provide comprehensive protection for the right to vote for all Michiganders, including: 

• Provide new legal tools to fight discriminatory voting rules.
• Expand language assistance for voters with limited English proficiency.
• Ensure advance public notice of key voting changes.
• Provide protections and assistance for voters with disabilities.
• Establish a central hub for election information to increase transparency and promote best practices.
• Allow courts to require judicial preapproval before voting changes can go into effect in jurisdictions that have violated voting rights laws.

More information is available on the Learn More button on the Take Action page.  

Please contact your State Legislators now and tell them to vote Yes on Senate Bills 401-404 to support the MI Voting Rights Act.
