REMINDERS FOR MAIL BALLOTS!
If you have received your ballot application, return it ASAP. If you have received your ballot, return it ASAP.
To make sure your ballot is received on time at your clerk’s office and doesn’t get held up in the mail, the Voter Protection Team recommends mailing it to your city or township clerk no later than October 15.
After this date, the best way to make sure it’s received is to drop it off in-person at your city or township clerk’s office or at one of their drop boxes. All ballots must be received in your clerk’s office – not just postmarked – by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Make sure your vote is counted!
JOIN OUR TEAM!
Volunteer with our Voter Protection Team to help protect voting rights in Michigan.
Getting involved is easy and Zoom training is provided for all roles.
At a time when voting rights continue to be threatened by Republican attacks and misinformation, we need to ensure that voters are able to cast a ballot and that every vote is counted in the 2022 midterm elections.
Pre-Election Day “Early Vote” Challengers - Needed to perform weekly check-ins at clerks' offices from September 29 through November 7 to ensure absentee ballots are issued upon request, clerks' staff are complying with current election law, and that there are no impediments to in-person absentee voting.
Election Day Poll Challengers - Serve as our team’s eyes and ears on the ground at polling locations on Election Day. They observe the process and intervene with election officials as needed, to make sure that voters are able to cast a ballot that counts. Our Poll Challengers do NOT challenge voters but are there to advocate for voters. Poll Challengers must be registered to vote in Michigan and they receive credentials from the MDP.
Counting Board Challengers - Volunteers will be assigned to a counting room to observe the process on Election Day, intervene with election officials as needed, and report any issues to the Voter Protection Team. Counting Board Challengers must be registered to vote in Michigan and they receive credentials from the MDP.
Interested? Go to MichiganDems.com/VoProVol and sign up for a training in the section for the volunteer role you’re interested in, or fill out the Volunteer Interest Form and one of our associates will get back to you.
