Senate Joint Resolution M proposes an amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963, specifically targeting the nominating process for the offices of lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general. The resolution outlines that these officials will continue to be elected for four-year terms during general elections held in alternate even-numbered years. However, it modifies the nomination process: starting January 1, 2027, the lieutenant governor will be selected by the gubernatorial nominee of the same political party, while the secretary of state and attorney general will be nominated through primary elections.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that any vacancies in the offices of secretary of state and attorney general must be filled by appointment from the governor. This proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Michigan at the next general election, allowing the public to decide on these changes to the state's electoral process.
