Abstract

(HB6090 · 103rd Legislature) Elections: candidates; dual citizenship status; require candidates to disclose. Amends sec. 558 of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.558). Latest action (2026-06-17): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/16/2026

Why this matters

Candidate filing requirements set the gatekeeping conditions for who appears on Michigan ballots and what voters know about them at the point of nomination. A dual-citizenship disclosure would add a new field to the affidavit-of-identity process under MCL 168.558, affecting every candidate who files for state or local office and giving clerks an additional item to review for completeness.
