Out of State Student Voting – Michigan Statute (proposed)


PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO MCLA 168.11

 

1.(b) A person cannot be a resident of 2 different states at the same time for purposes of eligibility to vote. Individuals paying non-resident tuition at any Michigan institution have conclusively established that they are residents of another state and are therefore not residents of Michigan and not eligible to vote in Michigan.

 

(To overcome the presumption, the individual may cast a provisional ballot but must prove to the Secretary of State, within 6 days of that election, current Michigan residency and for the next calendar year.)

 

1 (c) Each Michigan post-secondary school is required to

 

provide a list of non-citizen students and employees in the United States. The list must be updated and provided to the Secretary of State prior to the 60th day before voting begins in any election for public office in the state of Michigan. The Secretary of State is required to purge from the voter rolls any one on that list.

 

1 (d) Michigan employers are required to provide a list of

non-citizen employees in the United States on a visa. The list must be updated and provided to the Secretary of State prior to the 60th day before voting begins in any election for public office in the state of Michigan. The Secretary of State is required to purge from the voter rolls any one on that list.
