Michigan Voters Show High Confidence in 2024 Election Security

A recent poll conducted in Michigan reveals strong voter confidence in the fairness, accuracy, and security of both the 2024 and upcoming 2026 elections. The survey of 800 registered voters showed that about 76-77% believed the 2024 election was fair and accurate, with nearly 88% trusting their local elections, marking a notable increase from previous polls. While most voters supported the current election system, concerns remain regarding noncitizens voting in state elections, with 57% somewhat concerned and 36% very concerned. Despite these concerns, only 21% of respondents supported requiring voter ID, which is already mandated by state law, and just 7.7% favored proof of citizenship as a voting prerequisite. The poll results were discussed during an event at the Gerald R. Ford Museum featuring prominent political figures, including former Michigan governors, who emphasized the widespread public support for the election system. These findings contrast with ongoing Republican efforts to introduce a constitutional amendment requiring proof of citizenship to vote in Michigan.
