Michigan SJRI — Elections: primary; nomination process for secretary of state and attorney general; modify, and provide for gubernatorial appointment.

This proposed constitutional amendment modifies Michigan's election process and university governance. It requires the secretary of state and attorney general to be nominated at primary elections starting in 2027. It also creates new 9-member boards for the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Wayne State University, replacing the current 8-member boards. These new boards must include at least one member nominated by the institution's alumni association, with one member for Michigan State University having practical farming expertise.
