• "For voters who choose to cast their ballots by mail, Proposal 2 gives voters the right to apply just one time and be able to vote absentee in all elections for the year, an additional accessibility for those of us who travel for work and are often away from home during election days. And Proposal 2 requires secure drop boxes to further ensure accessible options for all Michigan voters..." Micheal Davis, Executive Director, Promote the Vote, Lansing State Journal, October 6, 2022

• "This proposal provides voters with access to prepaid postage and secure official drop boxes funded by the state. It also requires a state funded absentee ballot tracking system to allow voters to track the whereabouts of their ballot and alert them if there is an issue with their absentee ballot and how they can fix it. Importantly, this initiative also adds important details to the Michigan Constitution regarding post-election audits. It requires audits to be conducted by state and county election officials and bars the involvement of officials of any political party. This is critical to ensure that election materials remain secure and that the secrecy of voters' ballots remains uncompromised." Aghogho Edevbie, All Voting is Local’s Michigan State Director, wzzm13.com, January 31, 2022.

• “This initiative is to ensure that our elections are secure and accessible and that voters can vote free from harassment, intimidation and interference. Voter freedom and power are critical to the success of our state and our country. We must create a voting system that provides secure options for voters, equitable access to the polls, and ensures all our voices are heard when it comes time to vote.” Khalilah Spencer, President, Promote the Vote, mlive.com, Published: January-February, 2022.

• “This is important to LGBTQ+ voters as it can be emotionally fraught for a transgender or non-binary person to cast a ballot and be challenged over their identification while trying to vote. This is especially true as many in the community face financial or legal roadblocks to updating documents as they transition.” Erin Knott of Kalamazoo, serving as Executive Director, Equality MI, mlive.com, April 12, 2022
  

• "The Michigan Senate last year passed legislation to strengthen photo ID requirements for voting, while also providing free state personal identification cards to those who need them. However, it was vetoed by the governor and now Proposal 2, if approved, would prevent any future laws to strengthen photo ID requirements for voting. This ignores the will of nearly 80% of Michigan registered voters who support strong photo ID requirements to protect integrity."  State Senator Ruth Johnson (R-14), Detroit News Opinion, October 17, 2022
  

• Eligible individuals already a have a right to vote without harassment.  Election officials already conduct post-election audits.  Letter from Senator Ruth Johnson, Chair of the Senate Election Committee, former Michigan Secretary of State

• 72% of Michigan Voters support ID requirements for voting. -- This is not a partisan issue. ...keep convicted felons out from voting, require a photo ID to vote, and limit billionaires ability to manipulate our elections.  Protect MI Voter ID
  

• “Changes should not be in the Constitution. They should be done through the people’s representatives in the legislature.” Jamie Roe, spokesperson, Secure MI Vote, mliv.com, October, 2022
