This bill amends Michigan election law to significantly alter the nomination process for the offices of lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general, effective January 1, 2027. It mandates that political parties nominate candidates for these offices during their fall state conventions, with a general primary election scheduled for August before the general election in November. Candidates for the offices of secretary of state and attorney general will be required to submit nominating petitions signed by at least 100 registered electors from half of Michigan's congressional districts. The bill also outlines procedures for candidate withdrawal, handling vacancies, and allows for write-in candidates on primary ballots if no official candidates are nominated.

In addition to the changes in the election process, the bill updates various sections of the law related to the state board of education, including clarifying the conditions for member removal and the process for filling vacancies. It replaces the term "person" with "individual" for consistency and specifies that the governor must be notified within ten days of a vacancy on the board. The bill also introduces new requirements for candidate petitions, which must be signed by a specified number of registered electors, and mandates that the secretary of state prescribes the form and contents of these petitions. Furthermore, it expands the list of offices to be elected during the general election and repeals outdated sections of the election law, with the amendments contingent upon a related constitutional resolution.
