Voters Not Politicians

Mission: To defend and promote policies that strengthen democracy

Voters Not Politicians envisions a truly representative democracy, where the will of the voters drives government decision-making and public policy. We are a nonpartisan advocacy organization that works to strengthen democracy by engaging people across Michigan in effective citizen action.

Voters Not Politicians is a pro-democracy organization and we’ve demonstrated our ability to enact real pro-democracy change. In 2017, we launched an anti-gerrymandering campaign to create a fair, impartial, and transparent redistricting process in Michigan. On November 6, 2018, Proposal 2 passed with 61% of the vote and created an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission.

In 2022, Voters Not Politicians played a critical role in getting Proposal 22-2 on the ballot, by gathering over 171,000 signatures through volunteer circulating. Proposal 22-2, which expanded voting rights and ballot access for all Michiganders, passed with 60% of the vote.
