Michigan’s voter registration verification system has gaps, but new federal tools — once costly and complex — are now free and user-friendly, available to help ensure only U.S. citizens vote in Michigan elections.

Michigan Fair Elections Institute’s Founder Patrice Johnson is waving a red flag, warning about a new state law governing automatic voter registration coming into effect on June 30. House Bill No. 4983, signed by Governor Whitmer on November 20, 2023, expands automatic voter registration in Michigan, potentially opening the door for even more non-citizen voting.

The week of April 3-10 Michigan’s Republican U. S. House of Representatives delegation rose up in an historic display of unity, taking two decisive actions in support of citizens-only voting.

HJR-B, amending the state constitution to require proof of citizenship to register and a photo ID to cast a vote, faces stiff opposition.

Federal legislation that would require proof of citizenship to vote has sparked opponents to wage a public relations campaign in Michigan.
