As shared previously, two statewide ballot proposals will be before Michigan voters on the upcoming Nov. 3 ballot. Proposal 2026-1 asks whether to convene a constitutional convention for the purpose of drafting revisions of the state constitution (this question is automatically placed before voters every 16 years), and Proposal 2026-2 is a proposed initiated law to prohibit campaign contributions from certain regulated utilities and government contractors, and apply campaign finance laws and regulations to additional types of political communications.
Overviews of each proposal are available from three nonpartisan organizations: the Senate Fiscal Agency, SFA Ballot Proposal 26-1 and SFA Ballot Proposal 26-2; House Fiscal Agency, HFA Ballot Proposal 1 of 2026 and HFA Ballot Proposal 2 of 2026; and Citizens Research Council, CRC Proposal 2026-1 summary and CRC Proposal 2026-2 summary. These are also available on MTA’s website.
The MTA Board of Directors has taken a position in opposition to Proposal 2026-1 and MTA is part of a broad coalition of organizations and advocacy groups working together to urge Michiganders to vote no on whether to convene a Con-Con, which would open Michigan’s constitution to a complete rewrite.
