Michigan SB0964 amends voting procedures to enhance voter access and assistance.

Michigan SB0964 amends the state's election law to improve voter access and assistance. It allows individuals to provide food, warmth, or other necessities to voters in line without interfering with the voting process. Voters can now seek language assistance from a person of their choice. Local governments must notify the Secretary of State of changes to voting locations, hours, and ballot language. The Secretary of State will post these notices on their website. The bill also mandates that election inspectors inform voters outside the polling place if their ballot was accepted or rejected.
