Michigan Democrats are pushing for voter reform in the early weeks of session.
Lots of bills were introduced during the second day of session. The sponsors say they are aimed at making voting easier for everyone.
The bills would create no-excuse absentee voting and allow automatic voter registration when you apply for or renew a driver’s license or ID card.
State Representative Abdullah Hammoud is a bill sponsor. He says this is just the beginning for voter reform in Michigan.
“We certainly plan on having more voter reform bills, more bills trying to increase transparency and accountability though the election’s process.”
House Republicans made a push in the final weeks of session last year to pass voter identification laws that Democrats criticized as restricting voter rights.
