Some elected officials are trying to silence voters by creating needless barriers to the ballot box. Common Cause is fighting back against these anti-democracy efforts.
We should be able to make our voices heard at the polls and have a say in the leaders who represent us. But sometimes, politicians push for laws that discourage, obstruct, or even intimidate voters in an effort to cling to their power.
Polling place closures, limits to vote-by-mail, and needlessly strict voter ID regulations can prevent eligible voters from casting their ballot—and lately, this playbook of voter suppression strategies has become more popular. Common Cause is stopping voter suppression by opposing these efforts in the legislature, in the courts, and beyond in defense of the right to vote.

We urge you to reject HJR B and any efforts that make it harder for Michiganders to vote.
HJR B would impose unnecessary barriers to voter registration, disproportionately impacting seniors, students, military families, and working people.
Our democracy is strongest when every eligible voter can participate without fear of bureaucratic hurdles or unjust purges. Please stand against HJR B and protect the fundamental right to vote for all Michiganders.

Our access to voting is under attack with Trump's election Executive Order, the federal SAVE Act, AND with proposed changes to Michigan's Constitution with HJR B! Documentary proof of citizenship will require MILLIONS of Michiganders to jump through loopholes and to purchase official documentation to prove that they are eligible to vote. Add your name to a growing list of Michiganders that are saying enough is enough!
