Electoral votes would be awarded by congressional district, instead of the current winner-take-all system, under legislation introduced by Representative Beau LaFave (R-Iron Mountain). Under the proposal, each political party would continue to choose candidates for presidential electors during its state convention. One presidential elector would be chosen from each congressional district, and two electors at large. The presidential elector would then be selected from the political party with the greatest number of votes for president in that congressional district. The at-large electors would be chosen from the political party with the presidential candidate that received the greatest number of total votes in Michigan. The bill has been referred to the House Elections and Ethics Committee for consideration.
