Michigan will vote on whether to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution in the November midterm eleciton.

Voters will determine whether to place abortion rights in the Michigan Constitution, the state Supreme Court declared Thursday, settling the issue a day before the fall ballot must be completed.

In Michigan, a state elections board on Aug. 31 deadlocked along party lines on whether the abortion initiative should appear on the ballot, with Republicans voting no and Democrats voting yes. The 2-2 tie meant the measure wasn't certified for the ballot. The majority was made up of McCormack, three other Democratic justices and a Republican justice. Two Republicans dissented.
