Elections: primary; nomination process for secretary of state and attorney general; modify, and provide for gubernatorial appointment of regents, trustees, or board of governors for universities. Amends sec. 21, art. V & sec. 5, art. VIII of the state constitution.

This proposed constitutional amendment would change how the secretary of state and attorney general are nominated, shifting the process from political party conventions to primary elections starting in 2027. It also establishes new rules for the governing boards of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Wayne State University, increasing their size to nine members and requiring that no more than five members belong to the same political party. Under the plan, the governor would appoint these board members with the advice and consent of the Senate, while also ensuring at least one member comes from the university's alumni association and, for Michigan State University, one member has practical farming expertise. Additionally, the amendment sets specific term limits for board members and requires them to comply with state ethics laws, replacing the current eight-member boards with these new structures.
