Proposal 2026-1: Call a constitutional convention

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?

Proposal 2026-2: Campaign contributions by utilities and government contractors, and political ad disclosure (initiated law)

The proposal would: • Prohibit regulated electric and gas utilities, contractors with over $250,000 annually in government contracts, and people and organizations with substantial connections to these utilities/contractors from making direct or indirect campaign contributions to those who run for or hold offices that impact them. • Expand laws regulating spending on political communications, including those requiring disclosing donor information, to apply to communications clearly identifying candidates or ballot questions, even if they do not expressly advocate voting for/against them. • Expressly apply the law requiring disclosure of who paid for political communications to internet political communications. Should this proposal be adopted?

Bay Area Transportation Authority: public transit millage renewal

Shall the Bay Area Transportation Authority for Grand Traverse and Leelanau Counties, Michigan, be authorized to levy annually an amount not to exceed .4589 mills ($0.46 per $1,000 of taxable value), a renewal of the .4788 mills reduced to .4589 mills under the Headlee Amendment, on taxable property within its jurisdiction for seven (7) years, 2028 through 2034, inclusive, to fund public transportation capital and operating expenses and provide transportation services for seniors and persons with disabilities? The estimated first year revenue is approximately $6,041,755. By law, a portion of millage will be distributed to other governmental tax-capturing entities, including the Traverse City, Village of Kingsley, Village of Fife Lake and Interlochen Downtown Development Authorities and the Grand Traverse and Leelanau County Brownfield Redevelopment Authorities.
