In November 2026, Michigan voters will face a significant decision: whether to convene a constitutional convention to rewrite the state’s governing document. This question appears on the ballot every 16 years, as mandated by Article XII, Section 3 of the Michigan Constitution.

If approved, the process would involve electing delegates from each of the 110 state House and 38 state Senate districts. These delegates would have the authority to propose comprehensive changes to the constitution, potentially impacting various aspects of state governance.

Historically, Michigan voters have rejected this proposal in 1978, 1994, and 2010. As the 2026 vote approaches, discussions are intensifying around the potential implications of such a convention.
