Gov. Whitmer on House Passage of Voting Rights Bills

Press Release

"I applaud the passage of legislation that makes it easier for Michiganders to safely and securely exercise their constitutional right to vote.

The bills passed today will ensure those serving our nation in uniform and their spouses can vote more easily, help seniors get to the polls, and require the creation of a website that allows voters to request their absentee ballot easily and securely.

As governor, I am focused on protecting every citizen's ability to make their voice heard. I am proud of the work we have done to expand voting rights in Michigan with the overwhelming passage of Proposal 2 last November and a series of bipartisan bills that I was proud to sign into law this year.

Let's keep working together to protect and expand civil rights."
