Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has been at the forefront of efforts to pass the Michigan Voting Rights Act (MVRA), a landmark piece of legislation designed to expand voting access and uphold the principles of the 15th Amendment. In addition to testifying before the Michigan House Committee on Elections, Benson has actively engaged with lawmakers, voting rights organizations, and the public to emphasize the importance of the MVRA in ensuring fair and equitable elections.
The MVRA seeks to enhance voter access and participation by implementing measures such as translating election-related information in areas with large non-english speaking populations, improving accessibility for voters with disabilities, and ensuring that all eligible voters can cast their ballots without undue burdens. Secretary Benson has consistently highlighted the need for these reforms, promoting a more inclusive and representative democratic process in Michigan.
By supporting the MVRA, Secretary Benson continues her commitment to protecting and promoting democracy, ensuring that every eligible voter in Michigan has the opportunity to elect champions that will prioritize people and the planet.
