Ranked-Choice Voting Amendment

In plain language
This proposed constitutional amendment would have required ranked-choice voting in most Michigan congressional, state, and local elections, letting voters rank candidates in order of preference instead of choosing only one. Sponsor Rank MI Vote launched signature collection in July 2025 with a six-month window to gather the roughly 446,198 valid signatures needed, but paused the drive in January 2026 after falling more than 200,000 signatures short. The organization says it is regrouping rather than ending its campaign permanently and may pursue the amendment again for a future election.
