It is intended to provide avenues for voters of color and protected classes to defend their right to vote and access fair political representation. The act would prohibit a local government or state agency from imposing any law, practice, policy, or method of election that would lead to a disparity in voter participation between a protected class and other members of the electorate or that would impair the ability of a protected class to participate in the political process.<\/p>\n<p>Sen.<b> Darrin Camilleri <\/b>(D-Trenton), who led the bill package, and other bill sponsors Sen. <b>Jeremy Moss<\/b> (D-Southfield), Sen. <b>Erika Geiss<\/b> (D-Taylor), and Sen. <b>Stephanie Chang<\/b> (D-Detroit), issued the following statements:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocracy is neither a finished product nor is it a given or natural right. All of us have to\u00a0work at it, improve it, and protect it. And at this moment, it\u2019s under attack like never before,\u201d said Sen. <b>Camilleri<\/b>. \u201cAs Michigan\u2019s elected leaders, we have a duty to protect the most basic function of democracy \u2014 the right to vote. With this legislation, we have an opportunity to protect voters against the anti-democratic forces attempting to infiltrate our election process and codify these protections to ensure all voters in Michigan will be protected \u2014 regardless of changes at the federal level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo many members from marginalized communities have faced discriminatory barriers when trying to exercise their most fundamental right as American citizens \u2014 their right to vote. Our committee heard exhaustive testimony about the need to secure access to the ballot box for all qualified voters. After working intently with voting rights advocates and election administrators, I\u2019m proud that we have now moved the Michigan Voting Rights Act to the full Senate for consideration,\u201d said Sen. <b>Moss<\/b>, chair of the Senate Elections and Ethics Committee. \u201cThe MVRA underscores our commitment to safeguarding the right of each Michigan voter to feel empowered to shape our state\u2019s future \u2014 free from discrimination and intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the sponsor of Senate Bill 404, I\u2019m\u00a0proud to see this critical\u00a0bill package advance through the legislative process \u2014 particularly as forces across our country are actively working to disenfranchise voters,\u201d said Sen.\u00a0<b>Geiss<\/b>. \u201cThe movement of this legislation represents an important step forward in ensuring every Michigander has the right to fully participate in our democracy \u2014 and we\u2019re showing the rest of the nation that here in Michigan, we do not take the safeguarding of our elections lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichigan is becoming a more diverse state, with more than a third of Michiganders being English Language Learners,\u201d said Sen.\u00a0<b>Chang<\/b>. \u201cEnsuring that all voters, regardless of their ability to read or understand English, can accurately cast their ballot is critical to building an accessible and strong democracy. We are a better state when more voters of all backgrounds and abilities participate in elections.
