Questions about new voting laws? An upcoming event has answers

ZEELAND — An upcoming event in Zeeland will go over changes to Michigan’s voting laws brought on by a 2022 constitutional amendment.

The League of Women Voters of the Holland Area and the Zeeland Area Action Committee are partnering to give voters a chance to learn more about recent election changes.

Michigan voters approved Proposal 2 during the November 2022 election, which amended the state constitution to mandate early voting opportunities, create a permanent mail voter list and several other changes.

The event will be from 7-8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 5, at the Howard Miller Community Center, 14 S. Church St. in Zeeland. Representatives from the Holland chapter of the League of Women Voters will go over changes brought on by Proposal 2 and answer community questions.

The Feb. 27 presidential primary will be the first election with mandated early voting, which was included in Proposal 2. For each election involving a state or federal position, nine days of in-person early voting are required.
