Electoral reform in Michigan refers to efforts, proposals and plans to change the election and voting laws of Michigan. [1] In 2021, a Sixth Court panel held that Ballot access laws in Michigan curtail independents,[2] as they currently require a political party to submit 38,024 signatures, including 100 signatures from half of all Michigan Congressional districts. The Michigan Third Parties Coalition is seeking to relax those requirements.[3] So far, no bills have been introduced in the Michigan Legislature to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. However in 2023, such legislation was initiated.[4][5]
