Michigan’s presidential primary was historic thanks to Proposal 2, passed overwhelmingly by Michigan voters in 2022.

As a member of the League of Women Voters of Northeast Michigan, I believe that voting is critical to the integrity of our democracy. That’s why I was excited to vote in the Feb. 27 presidential primary and be part of history as our state voted under the new enhancements to elections brought on by Proposal 2.

I was one of 78,000 voters across the state who voted early — a provision of Proposal 2. I would like to thank local clerks for successfully implementing early voting, absentee voting, and traditional Election Day voting.

Our democracy is strengthened when more citizens participate.

Sincerely,

DORIS FEYS,

president,

League of Women Voters of Northeast Michigan
