October 6, 2026 ~ Bridge’s Jordyn Hermani joins Kevin to do a deep drive into Prop 1.
LANSING, Mich. ~ Michigan voters will decide this fall whether to call a constitutional convention in 2027, a process required to appear on the ballot every 16 years under the Michigan Constitution. A “yes” vote would begin the selection of 148 delegates tasked with reviewing and potentially rewriting the state’s governing document, while any proposed changes would still require voter approval before taking effect.
Supporters argue a convention would provide an opportunity to modernize a constitution last rewritten in the early 1960s, while opponents warn it could create uncertainty and open the door to sweeping changes on issues ranging from taxes and elections to education and individual rights. The proposal has also raised questions about who could serve as delegates, how much the process could cost, and whether the benefits of a constitutional review outweigh the risks of reopening the state’s foundational legal framework.
