Abstract
(HB6214 · 103rd Legislature) Elections: presidential electors; presidential electors who are elected under the agreement among the states to elect the President by national popular vote; clarify. Amends secs. 42, 46 & 842 of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.42 et. seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 6213’26 Latest action (2026-07-14): Bill Electronically Reproduced 07/03/2026
Why this matters
HB 6214 is the companion cleanup to HB 6213, adjusting existing Michigan Election Law sections that govern how presidential electors are certified, meet, and vote so they function correctly if Michigan joins the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. For clerks and the Secretary of State, the practical stakes are procedural: which slate of electors is seated and how vacancies or ties are handled when the winner is determined by national rather than state vote totals. The tie-bar means neither bill takes effect without the other.
