Since 2005, the U.S. has called for the time to change on the second Sunday of March and revert on the first Sunday in November. Michigan currently observes the federal schedule for daylight saving time. But that was not always the case, and the state has had a contentious history with timekeeping and time zones.

Michigan has been observing daylight saving time each year since 1973, but one lawmaker wants to let voters decide if the practice should continue.

Michigan voters may get to decide on daylight saving time's future via a ballot measure proposed for November 2026.
