CALL TO ACTION: Push HB 4765 to The Finish Line

Dear Fellow Patriots and Friends,

We have been presented with an opportunity to close the issue of potential non-citizens being added to Michigan's voter rolls. HB 4765 would require our Secretary of State to verify the citizenship status of all incoming registrants before adding them to the voter rolls.

This change would encompass Michigan's entire automatic registration apparatus, requiring documented proof of citizenship throughout the entire state prior to registration, whether through the DMV or any other state agency. This bill would merely enforce what is already law, but it would do so comprehensively.

"Voters in Michigan have a right to know that only United States citizens are deciding state and local issues. HB 4765 closes loopholes in the current system and prevents problems before they start. It treats eligible citizens fairly while drawing a clear line against ineligible registrations," says Michigan Rep. Joshua Schriver.

HB 4765 passed in the Michigan House on April 14, 2026 and now moves to our Senate.

HB 4765 is a well-written bill that puts the responsibility to verify registrants on Michigan's Secretary of State using any available proof of citizenship on hand, from REAL ID, to a birth certificate, to a passport, naturalization papers, or approved tribal records. Being state legislation, there are affordances in place to allow registrants to vote (in federal elections) when their citizenship cannot be immediately verified with documents on hand or by state databases. The bill has been thoughtfully crafted with several mechanisms to avoid creating difficulties for legitimate voters while improving the robustness of Michigan's voter rolls.

If HB 4765 passes, Michiganders will be sure that only eligible citizens are being qualified to vote. The bill also requires public monthly reporting on the number of registrations added.
