A group called Rank MI Vote hopes voters will adopt a ballot proposal to bring the voting method to Michigan elections for major federal and statewide offices. The group’s proposed amendment to the Michigan Constitution could appear on the November 2026 ballot. To put the issue up for a vote, organizers need to collect at least 446,198 signatures from Michigan voters.
”Represent a majority of Michiganders
Currently two states — Alaska and Maine — use ranked choice voting, along with dozens of U.S. cities. New York City just held its Democratic mayoral primary using ranked choice voting.
“Michigan voters deserve to be represented by candidates who’ve won more than 50% of voter support who can represent a majority of Michiganders,” said Pat Zabawa, executive director of Rank MI Vote.
