Cover of the Michigan Clerk's Bill of Rights

Check out our newest resource! We’ve created a Clerks’ Bill of Rights which serves as a reference guide for what is already established in statute, so election officials can communicate clearly the steps they’re taking to manage and mitigate common election issues as well as challenges or attempts to create confusion around established state election authority and administration.

FEATURED WORK

All Voting Is Local Michigan is committed to ensuring that youth voters are engaged in the democratic process. These efforts included successfully supporting the launch of pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-olds earlier than planned, increasing access for first-time voters, and engaging more than 70 student leaders to serve as poll workers and voter ambassadors.

AVL Michigan also helps convene and lead election protection and election day engagement across the state to ensure that Michigan’s elections run smoothly and that voters can cast their votes with confidence. This work includes training nearly 200 election defenders across the state through four in-person and eight virtual de-escalation sessions to create safer, more secure voting environments. Additionally, AVL MI regularly convenes a coalition of pro-voting organizations and coordinates weekly with the Michigan Department of State and partners to track poll worker needs in 65 priority jurisdictions.
