Michigan Department of State posts election documents provided to House Oversight Committee on new public site

*LANSING, Mich. – *Today, the Michigan Department of State (MDOS) provided approximately 1,900 additional pages of materials to the Michigan House Committee on Oversight. These materials are from the eLearning center for Michigan clerks, do not contain sensitive information related to election security, and are now available online for public review at Michigan.gov/ElectionTransparency [ [link removed] ].  

“Everyone at the Michigan Department of State is committed to transparency and openness to the people we serve,” *said Chief Legal Director Khyla Craine.* “We are also committed to protecting sensitive information which, if publicly released, could be used by bad actors to interfere with the chain of custody of ballots, tamper with election equipment, or impersonate a clerk on Election Day.” 

The materials released by MDOS today include training newsletters sent to clerks by the Bureau of Elections (BOE), the clerk training accreditation manual, and the Election Day “flip chart” manual used by election workers at the polls. These items, along with the documents MDOS previously provided to the House Oversight Committee, are now also available on the MDOS Election Transparency site – over 3,000 pages of information open for public review.  

MDOS will continue to release additional materials to the Committee and on the public site once the department’s legal and election security teams are able to review them and redact any sensitive information that could compromise election security.
