Michigan Policy Network: On November 2, 2010 the ballot will have many things to vote for, a new Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, the entire State Legislature, and whether or not to have a new constitutional convention. The current Michigan Constitution requires that every 16 years there be a question of whether or not to have a constitutional convention, voted on by the entire state. If passed, 148 delegates are elected within a 6 month period of the ballot, representing the districts of the State House and State Senate. These delegates will draft a new constitution. When the delegates are done, it is presented back to the state. If it does not receive a 50% +1 or more vote then it fails and the delegates have to try again. If the vote for a constitutional convention fails then it will appear on the ballot in 2026 and every 16 years thereafter.
