local leaders, election advocates, and voting rights organizations opposing those proposals continue raising concerns that requiring documents such as passports or birth certificates in order to register to vote could create barriers for eligible voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advocates have pointed to the impact these requirements could have on people who have moved frequently, changed their names, lost records, recently returned home from incarceration, or face housing instability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Michigan Voting Rights Act package and local organizing efforts are unfolding alongside broader statewide conversations about voting access, voter data, election worker protections, election oversight, and participation in Michigan elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"submit-support\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Submit Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the legislation moves through the
