Michigan lawmakers seem to be making voting laws a priority. Lawmakers in both chambers have now introduced legislation they say will make voting easier.
The legislation would allow for no-reason absentee voting, electronic submission of voter registration applications, and let people pre-register to vote starting at sixteen years old.
Democratic Senator Steve Bieda is a bill sponsor. He says they’re “common sense” reforms.
“We are a service industry. We serve the public, and we serve at the public’s discretion. This is a way of allowing people to exercise their right to vote and register more easily.”
In the State House, Democrats have introduced a voting bills package that also would allow no-reason absentee voting.
