Voting Access and Protecting Democracy

Voting is how we make our voices heard. We cannot address the environmental challenges facing our state if we can’t make our voices heard at the ballot box. We fight to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to use that voice.

Passing strong environmental protection laws requires fair and open elections, so that we can elect pro-environmental decision-makers to office. Michigan needs to lead the way with smart policies that promote a strong democratic process and ensure better outcomes for the public.

Michigan LCV advocates for policies that ensure Michiganders have equitable access to the ballot box and voting is accessible. We also fight against policies that strip away voting rights and make voting harder.

Michigan LCV and its members are committed to driving positive change. By working together, we can demand more from our elected officials and ensure that our state government is accountable to the people it serves. Let’s come together and make Michigan a model of voting access and a strong democracy.

How Can I Help?

Tell your lawmaker: Strengthen government transparency in Michigan

Michigan is one of the only states in the country that exempts the governor’s office and state Legislature from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Tell your lawmakers to vote YES on Senate Bills 1 and 2 to bring transparency and accountability to Michigan.
