GTB Voting Rights for All

Over half of GTB Members are denied the right to vote just because they live outside the service area. That ends now.

Why This Petition Matters

The Grand Traverse Band Constitution currently allows only Members living in the 6-county service area to vote in Tribal elections. That means more than half of our people, fully enrolled Tribal Members, have no voice in decisions that affect all of us. It’s time to restore equal voting rights to everyone.

• GTB has the only original Tribal Constitution in Michigan that denies voting rights to most of its Members.
• This petition only changes voting — not services, jurisdiction, or membership rules.
• Federal law guarantees your right to propose this amendment with 30% of eligible voters.
