MI HB6124

Requires election challengers to complete training within 90 days before an election and receive a signed certificate of completion to serve, with an exception allowing challengers trained before an August primary to serve at the subsequent November general election without retraining unless statutory changes require updated training.

Mandates county clerks and the secretary of state offer election challenger training between 45-100 days before each primary, general, and special election, covering processes, procedures, powers, rights, and duties of challengers at both precinct polling places and absent voter counting boards.

Requires political parties, incorporated organizations, and organized committees seeking to designate challengers to attend and complete the state or county clerk training once, then provide their own training to individual challengers before issuing signed certificates of completion valid for 90 days.

Establishes a registry maintained by the secretary of state listing all organizations that complete training, including names of attendees and contact persons, with county clerks required to immediately notify the secretary of state of trainings they conduct.

Imposes a civil infraction penalty of up to $2,500 on organizations that issue certificates of completion to individuals they did not actually train.
