Secretary Benson statement on Senate passage of Michigan Voting Rights Act

Today, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issued the following statement on the Michigan Senate's passage of the Michigan Voting Rights Act (SB 401, SB 402, SB 403, SB 404):

"Every Michigan voter deserves access to fair, secure elections and no citizen should be unfairly denied the right to vote. The Michigan Voting Rights Act will not only build on the federal Voting Rights Act but will add new protections at the state level to shield us from future attacks on our democracy.

"Thank you to Senators Camilleri, Moss, Chang, and Geiss for their leadership in this effort and thank you to the Michigan Senate for leading the way and passing this important legislation. I look forward to working with our legislative partners to strengthen the bill in the House."
