All Voting is Local Michigan engages with county and state election officials, voting rights advocates, and local leaders to advocate for a pro-voter agenda that ensures Michigan voters can easily cast their ballot without worry. Our team works to ensure that clerks are adequately supported and educated on the resources available to them. We promote youth civic engagement by working with partners to support voting summits on college campuses throughout the state, and assist in recruiting poll workers to staff polling locations and with new early voting requirements. We also work closely with partners to provide nonpartisan voter education and expand access to the ballot. Learn more in the 2025 All Voting Pro-Voter Agenda: Michigan.
