Michigan lawmakers pass 'historic' voting rights legislation: Here's what it would do
That legislation – Senate Bills 339, 367, 370, and 373 and House Bills 4696, 4697, 4699, and 4702 – would:
Allow clerks in municipalities with at least 5,000 people to process and count absentee ballots eight days before Election Day
Implement at least nine consecutive days of early voting for statewide elections
Require each municipality in Michigan to have at least one accessible absent voter drop box and one for every 15,000 registered voters in the municipality
Provide prepaid postage on absentee ballots
Expand permissible options for photo identity using in voting
Launch an absentee ballot tracking system for voters
Create a single application for voters to automatically receive absent voter ballots for all future elections
Make disclosing an election result from an early voting site before Election Day a felony with a maximum five-year prison sentence
Increase the number of active registered voters in a single election precinct from 2,999 to 5,000 active registered voters
