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?

Shall Brighton Area Schools, Livingston County, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Ninety Million Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($90,275,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, in one or more series, for the purpose of: remodeling, including safety and security improvements to, furnishing and refurnishing, and equipping and re-equipping school buildings and facilities; erecting, furnishing, and equipping additions to school buildings; acquiring and installing instructional technology and instructional technology equipment for school buildings; and equipping, developing, and improving playgrounds, athletic fields and facilities, driveways, parking areas, and sites?

Howell Public Schools: operating millage renewal

This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance. The remaining .4411 mill is only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that reduction. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Howell Public Schools, Livingston County, Michigan, be renewed by 18.4411 mills ($18.4411 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 11 years, 2028 to 2038, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2028 is approximately $21,695,017 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2027 tax levy)?
