Sign petitions to end gerrymandering at these locations over the next week

Source: Metro Times



Voters Not Politicians is working to gather 316,000 signatures needed to put a proposal on the November 2018 ballot that the group says will end gerrymandering of electoral districts, if it's approved.

The non-partisan, non-profit group is proposing amending Michigan's state constitution to establish a 13-member citizens' commission made up of five independent voters and four each from the two major parties.

It has 180 days from Aug. 17 to collect the signatures, and well-attended festival and weekend events are excellent places to gather large numbers of them in a short time.

Below is the list of locations where you can find Voters Not Politicians volunteers collecting signatures. Exact locations and times where/when volunteers will be at events are not always available, so keep your eyes peeled for them. In some cases, volunteers will be outside or the near the entrance of the event instead of inside it. For example, volunteers will be near the entrance of the University of Michigan football game, but not in the stadium.
