The group Voters Not Politicians is still working to gather the 316,000 signatures needed to get a proposal on the November 2018 ballot to end gerrymandering of electoral districts.

The non-partisan, non-profit group is proposing amending Michigan's state constitution to establish a 13-member citizens' commission made up of five independent voters and four each from the two major parties.

Below is the list of locations where you can find Voters Not Politicians volunteers collecting signatures in the coming days.
