The Michigan Transparency Network (MiTN) is a cloud-based platform launched in 2024 to replace several older systems for campaign finance reporting, lobby expense reporting, personal financial disclosures, legal defense fund disclosures and casino financial interest reports. MiTN combines multiple systems from the MERTS platform into one centralized web tool. The Michigan Bureau of Elections will continually work to improve, update, and quality check the MiTN system to enable users streamlined reporting, enhanced access to information, simplified filing, and easy access to guidance and support from our team. This page will be updated regularly to keep users informed on the status and progress of system improvements.
New features of the new edition will include: <list updated tools coming in the next 90 days/6 mo>

The newest version of MiTN (Do we have a name for this? MiTN 2.0 and on?) will be available on <DATE>
The vision for the future of MiTN is to have the system serve as an easy-to-use, living and evolving entity, receiving regular updates and improvements from us, because of helpful feedback from users like you. If you have feedback on the user experience or suggestions to improve functionality of the system, please submit them here.
