Proposal 1: Constitutional Convention Question
A yes vote means
A yes vote calls a constitutional convention. Michigan would elect 148 delegates in 2027, one from each state House and Senate district, to draft a general revision of the state constitution. Whatever they produce would go back to voters for approval or rejection.
A no vote means
A no vote keeps the current 1963 constitution as it is. The question returns automatically in 16 years, in 2042.
Official ballot language

Shall a convention of elected delegates be convened in 2027 to draft a general revision of the State Constitution for presentation to the state’s voters for their approval or rejection?

Verbatim from the Michigan Bureau of Elections' “2026 November ballot questions” (Board of State Canvassers).
