HB 6052 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Elections: voting equipment; allowable uses for on-demand ballot printing systems; expand. .

This Michigan law updates rules for paper ballots used in primary elections, specifically requiring that ballots printed on demand at early voting sites, election day vote centers, or registration offices include a detachable stub with a consecutive number and the words "official primary ballot." The legislation also mandates that these ballots must be prepared in a specific format that includes a warning stating voters cannot split their ticket by voting for candidates from more than one party. Additionally, the bill clarifies how ballot labels must be printed and arranged to clearly identify political parties and office titles for voters. These changes apply to election officials and clerks who prepare and distribute ballots for upcoming primary elections.
