Michigan voters will see an option for a constitutional convention this year -- here’s what it means
Michigan voters will decide in November 2026 whether to convene a constitutional convention in 2027 to draft a general revision of the state constitution. The question appears every 16 years as mandated since 1850, with the current constitution adopted in 1963. A 2010 attempt saw 67% of voters reject the proposal.
