Blog: Voters Ed Fund Continues to Engage Election Clerks

As of May 1st, Voters Ed Fund has recruited 128 volunteers in 39 Michigan counties to support implementation of Proposal 22-2, which voters overwhelmingly approved last November to guarantee more ballot access. Voters Ed Fund volunteers continued meeting with their clerks throughout April and by month’s end had met with local clerks in 15 municipalities (22 total since March) across 10 counties, representing 576,043 registered voters. Our goal is to identify gaps in implementation and the concerns of both clerks and voters, and to provide grassroots support to local election administrators who must comply with the directives of Proposal 22-2. With our large, distributed network of trained volunteers, Voters Ed Fund is well suited to monitoring and supporting implementation across numerous municipalities, including population centers and historically underrepresented communities.
