PROMOTE THE VOTE CELEBRATES SIGNING OF SENATE BILL 259

LANSING – Promote The Vote released the following statement celebrating Gov. Whitmer signing Senate Bill 259 into law:

“Proposal 2 passed by twenty points with support from across the political spectrum because Michiganders know it enhances the security of our elections and protects the right of every eligible Michigander to vote,” said Micheal Davis Jr., Executive Director of Promote The Vote. “A key section of Proposal 2, which is now Article II, Section 4(b) of our state constitution, specifically protects overseas voters and the rights of those in the military who have sworn to protect all of us. We’re so grateful to the legislature for passing SB 259 and to the governor for swiftly signing it into law. There’s more work to do, but today Michigan takes another step towards protecting the rights of those who are protecting us.”
