Should Michigan rewrite its constitution? Voters can decide in upcoming ballot

This year, Michigan voters will see something on the ballot that hasn’t been there in 16 years, and it could have a massive impact on the state going forward. Voters will be asked whether they want to call a constitutional convention. That would give people the ability to rewrite the state constitution. The issue has to appear on the ballot every 16 years by law. The last time voters approved this was back in the 1960s, and they’ve rejected calls in 1978, 1994, and 2010. Starting Feb. 10, 2026, the Citizens Research Council will launch a campaign to educate Michigan voters about this.  Eric Lupher, the President of the Citizen Research Council, joined Local 4 Live to explain it all.
