Citizens Groups Call for Expanded Voting Rights on MLK Day
Legislators should be making voting more accessible
 
LANSING – Today, in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr., voting rights groups are calling on elected leaders in Lansing to expand citizens’ voting rights and oppose voter suppression legislation.
 
Several bills were introduced and/or passed in 2015 that would negatively impact voters’ ability to participate in elections. Governor Rick Snyder signed a bill to eliminate straight ticket voting. Another bill that was introduced would put up numerous roadblocks to local officials who want to make voting more convenient and accessible in their communities.
 
The organizations listed below sign on to the following statement:
 
“Voting is our right and our responsibility. The integrity of our elections depends on every eligible citizen being able to register and cast their ballot. Martin Luther King Jr. knew that and dedicated his life to ensuring that every eligible citizen in America had the right to participate in our democracy. We continue in 2016 in carrying on his quest by urging our representatives to modernize and streamline elections in order to make voting more accessible, convenient, accurate, and fair.”

Last year I actually had my first experience of voting for a presidential election. Thinking of who to vote is not easy really easy for me because I do believe that those candidates are very much capable of making our country better than ever before. It was a tough decision, but I have to say that I don't have any regrets with whom I have voted. After announcing the winner of the election, all I felt aside from happiness is how proud I am with myself and with the one I have voted. Right now, I have to say that he is doing great! I am so grateful because he is making everything works together for our own good.

There are only few days when the elections are going to be here for every citizen to cast vote. That is the real time where you are having the power to decide which one is going to rule this country.
