The Michigan State Official Financial Disclosure Requirement and Legislative Term Limits Initiative was not on the ballot in Michigan as an initiated constitutional amendment on November 8, 2022.

This initiative would have required the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and legislators to provide financial disclosures after 2023. It would have also reduced state legislative term limits to 12-year combined term limits on members of both the state House and state Senate.[1]

The Michigan State Legislature referred a different constitutional amendment to the ballot that also addressed term limits and financial disclosure requirements.

The state process

In Michigan, the number of signatures required to qualify an initiated constitutional amendment for the ballot is equal to 10 percent of votes cast for governor in the last gubernatorial election. Signatures older than 180 days are invalid, which means all signatures must be collected within a 180-day window. Amendment petitions must be filed 120 days prior to the election.

The requirements to get an initiated constitutional amendment certified for the 2022 ballot:

Signature petitions are filed with the secretary of state and verified by the board of state canvassers using a random sample method of verification.
