Introduced
by
To allow a person to register to vote at any county, city, or township clerk's office in the state, not just in the community where the person lives. The clerk taking the registration would have to transmit it to the clerk of the county, city, or township where the applicant resides.
Referred to the Committee on Elections and Ethics
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the amendment be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Amendment offered
To tie-bar the bill to House Bill 5739, meaning this bill cannot become law unless that one does also. HB 5739 would revise the requirement that a person who registers by mail and has never voted in Michigan must provide identification when voting the first time. The bill would allow the person to show up at any municipal clerk’s office not later than eight days before the election and show his or her ID, and would then require that clerk to notify the clerk of the appropriate jurisdiction.
The amendment passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 99 to 7 (details)
