Hey Michiganders! It's so important to educate others NOT to sign this petition. This is a SAVE Act copycat that will suppress votes!

Michigan voters spoke loudly and clearly in support of voting options and voting access when they adopted the Promote the Vote constitutional amendment just 3 years ago.

This proposal would force us all backwards and undo the progress we've fought for.

The SAVE Act is yet another blatant attempt by politicians to take power away from voters by picking and choosing which voters are allowed to participate in elections.

Michigan voters are fighting back and showing Washington we don't want their interference in our elections: vnp.vote/save-act

Our research shows: the resistance is alive and well | Erica Chenoweth, Jeremy Pressman and Soha Hammam Street protests today are far more numerous and frequent than skeptics might suggest

Grassroots resistance is the driving force of change in our democracy & Voters Not Politicians knows how to put that power to work

Michigan GOP amendment would require proof of citizenship to vote Non-citizen voting is already made illegal by multiple state and federal laws.
