Michigan would hold a convention in 2027 to rewrite the state constitution, with voters electing the delegates. Any new constitution would come back to voters for approval before it takes effect.

More about this measure

Proposed by: Automatic question required by the Michigan Constitution (Article XII, Section 3)

No person or group proposed it. The 1963 state constitution requires voters to be asked every 16 years, starting in 1978, whether to rewrite it. If voters say no, the question returns in 2042.
