Michigan Voters to Decide on Two Key Constitutional Amendments in November Election
Michigan voters will decide on two constitutional amendments in the November election: one that could trigger a state constitutional convention to rewrite the constitution, and another that would ban political contributions from utility companies and large state contractors.
Traverse City Cadillac, MI, September 22, 2026 — Michigan voters are set to consider two significant constitutional amendments that will appear on the ballot during the November election. These proposed changes address fundamental aspects of the state’s governance and political financing.
One amendment, if passed, could potentially lead to a state constitutional convention. The purpose of such a convention would be to undertake a comprehensive rewrite of Michigan’s current constitution. The specifics regarding the process and potential outcomes of this convention, beyond the general aim of rewriting the constitution, were not detailed in the summary.
The second amendment focuses on campaign finance regulations. This proposal aims to prohibit political contributions originating from utility companies and from businesses that are considered large state contractors. The exact definition of ‘large state contractors’ or the specific thresholds for contributions that would be banned were not provided.
Both amendments will be presented to the electorate for a decision in the upcoming November election. Further details on the ballot language, the specific legislative or citizen-led initiatives that brought these amendments forward, and the timelines for their potential implementation beyond election day were not available in the provided summary. The outcome of these votes will determine whether Michigan moves forward with a constitutional convention or enacts new restrictions on political funding from specific corporate entities.
