Ballot Measures (Vote Yes)
- Legislative Term Limits and Financial Disclosure (Proposal 1)
- Michigan is one of just two states that don’t require politicians to disclose their finances or conflicts of interest. This is a major reason the Center for Public Integrity ranks the State of Michigan as 50th in the nation in transparency. Beginning in 2024, annual financial disclosure reports would be required to be filed with and made public by the Michigan Department of State. This proposal would also make changes to our term limits. The proposed amendment, while reducing the total years of service from 14 to 12 years, would, unlike current limits, allow a member to serve the entire 12-year period in one legislative chamber.
- Promote The Vote 2022 (Proposal 2)
-
The Promote the Vote 2022 ballot initiative will enhance the integrity and security of our elections by modernizing how we administer elections to ensure every vote counts. The common-sense solutions in the Promote the Vote 2022 ballot initiative will allow for early voting, nine days prior to election day, and make voting more convenient and secure especially for working parents, military families who move frequently or get deployed overseas, elderly voters, voters with disabilities, and rural voters who live or work far from their polling location. As of this guide going to printing, the Michigan State Supreme Court is deciding whether or not this will appear on November’s ballot.
-
- Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative
-
The ballot initiative would provide for a state constitutional right to reproductive freedom. The term reproductive freedom would be defined as "the right to make and effectuate decisions about all matters relating to pregnancy, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, sterilization, abortion care, miscarriage management, and infertility care." The ballot initiative would provide that the state can regulate abortion after fetal viability, except that the state could not ban the use of abortion to "protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual," as determined by an attending health care professionals.

The Michigan Chapter’s Political Committee conducts thorough reviews of candidates based on their environmental history, voting records, and policy positions through candidate interviews and responses to candidate questionnaires. The Sierra Club will announce further rounds of endorsements in 2022. There are many legislators with excellent environmental voting records, however, this list is limited to those candidates who have been perfect on Sierra Club priorities.
