This bill would require Michigan’s Department of Corrections to give every person leaving prison a clear, written guide about voting. This guide, created by the Secretary of State, must explain that people released from prison are allowed to register and vote if they are otherwise eligible. It would also include step-by-step instructions on how to register to vote, how to cast a ballot on Election Day, how to vote early, and how to vote by absentee ballot. Additionally, the guide would list the dates of regular elections in Michigan.
