Voters Ed Fund Presenters Ensuring Michiganders Can Vote with Confidence in 2024

In February 2024, Michigan voters participated in the most accessible statewide election in Michigan’s history, taking advantage of new options such as early voting and the permanent absentee ballot list. However, many Michiganders don’t yet know how much more secure, modern, and accessible our elections have become.

That is why the Voters Ed Fund has been training volunteers to inform their communities all over Michigan about their new voting rights.

Throughout 2023, many city and township clerks told us that the best way organizations like Voters Ed Fund can support them is by informing voters about the upcoming election changes. Therefore, as part of our Proposal 2022-2 Implementation program to ensure the successful initiation of Michigan’s new voting laws, Voters Ed Fund has launched an ongoing Voter Educator training program that prepares volunteers to give their own presentations on Michigan’s new voting laws. Since November, Voters Ed Fund has trained over 50 volunteer presenters across 27 municipalities.

To ensure this pivotal voter education reaches a wide scope of voters across Michigan, we encouraged volunteers to engage organizations within their own communities including block clubs, Democratic or Republican clubs, faith organizations, and unions. Since the start of our program, Voters Ed Fund volunteer Voter Educators have already given 22 presentations to over 600 voters across Michigan.

Voters Ed Fund isn’t done educating Michigan voters. We continue to host training sessions to empower volunteers to become Voter Educators and inform their local communities about Michigan’s elections. You can join them in this mission: sign up for an upcoming Voter Educator Training (hosted monthly) to learn how you can help empower your community through voter education!
