The Michigan Voting Rights Act has passed the Michigan Senate and now moves to the Michigan House. The bill package, Senate Bills 961, 962, 963, and 964, would create state-level voting rights protections in Michigan. 

VAAC has shared previous updates explaining what the Michigan Voting Rights Act would do and what has changed in the legislative process. You can read the earlier background here: https://votingaccessforall.org/2026/06/michigan-senate-passes-the-michigan-voting-rights-act/

This week, the focus is action.

Voters Not Politicians and coalition partners are encouraging Michigan residents to contact their state representatives and ask them to support and pass the Michigan Voting Rights Act.

What to do

Find your Michigan House representative here: house.mi.gov/AllRepresentatives

Call your representative’s office and share a brief message in support of Senate Bills 961 through 964.

After you make your call, fill out this Voters Not Politicians form so our partners can track which offices are hearing from constituents and where additional outreach may be needed:

Sample call script

You can keep your message simple and personalize it in your own words:

“Hello, my name is [your name], and I am a voter in state House District [district number]. I’m calling to say that I support Senate Bills 961 through 964, the Michigan Voting Rights Act.

Michigan voters deserve strong protections against voting discrimination, barriers to the ballot, and unfair representation.

Now is the time to pass the Michigan Voting Rights Act because protecting every Michigan voter is critical.

Thank you.”

You can also add a sentence about why voting access is important to you, your family, or your community.

What is in the Michigan Voting Rights Act

According to the Senate bill summary, the Michigan Voting Rights Act package would create protections related to voter denial, voter dilution, voter suppression, language access, voter assistance, and public information about election administration. 

The bills have not become law yet. Michigan voters should continue following current Michigan voting laws and procedures unless official guidance changes.
