Lansing, MI – Michigan State Senator Dale Zorn introduced a pair of election reform measures as part of a comprehensive package to ensure election access and integrity in Michigan.
The Bills cover a wide variety of issues dealing with processes before, during and after an election, such as restricting the unsolicited mass mailing of absentee ballot applications, requiring signature verification, establishing a chain of custody for absentee ballots, ensuring audits are bipartisan and open to the public, and improving the management of the state’s Qualified Voter File.
Zorn sponsored two bills. Senate Bill 299 would allow clerks to submit official results by noon the day after the election, and Senate Bill 305 would ban the name or likeness of the secretary of state, county clerk or local clerk from appearing on materials promoting election activities.
The bills have been referred to the Senate Elections Committee for consideration.
