Resolution Supporting Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s Proposed FY

Historic Disinvestment in Election Administration
Sponsored By: Gary McGillivray
WHEREAS free and fair access to voting and participation in our democracy is
fundamental to creating an equitable system of governance; and
WHEREAS in November 2022, Michigan voters overwhelmingly supported
Proposal 2, enshrining a right to vote in the Michigan constitution, establishing a
minimum of 9 days of early voting, creating a permanent mailed ballot voter list,
providing prepaid postage for mailed absentee ballot applications and absentee
ballots, and requiring a minimum of one drop box for every jurisdiction and at
least one drop box per every 15,000 registered voters in larger municipalities;
and
WHEREAS elections should be treated as critical infrastructure; and
WHEREAS elections officials have been operating for years with insufficient
budgets; and
WHEREAS on April 19th, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson
proposed a $177 million budget for FY 2024 to the House Elections Committee,
Senate Elections and Ethics Committee, House Appropriations Committee,
Senate Appropriations Committee, Speaker of the House Joe Tate and Senate
Majority Leader Winnie Brinks; and
WHEREAS the proposed FY 2024 budget covers the necessary expenses for
successful implementation of Proposal 2, addresses historic disinvestment in
elections and recognizes election administration as critical infrastructure; and
WHEREAS the Secretary of State and clerks have emphasized that successful
implementation of Proposal 2 will require a significant increase in resources for
election officials to provide the training, transparency, audits, and other
procedures that ensure the integrity of our elections and protect access to the
ballot for all Michigan voters.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners calls on the Michigan State Legislature to support Secretary of
State Jocelyn Benson’s proposed FY 2024 budget and commit to sufficient
funding of Michigan elections.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports a state funding plan that encourages and rewards those municipalities
that choose a collaborative approach to early voting over those that operate
independently. A collaborative approach will save financial resources and
provide for a more consistent voter experience across the state and county.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the Governor of the
State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State
House Speaker and Minority leader, the members of the Oakland County
delegation to the Michigan Legislature, and the Board of Commissioner’s
legislative lobbyist.
