MI Sec. of State Leading Statewide Student Voter Registration Effort

With politics seemingly at the top of most people's radar, and with a major election just a few months away, the Michigan Secretary of State's office is embarking on a statewide voter registration effort at eighteen colleges.

The deadline to register to vote for the Nov. 6 general election is Oct. 9,

According to a release, Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson says.“we’re launching our 3,000-mile 2018 Voter Registration Drive on Tuesday, Sept. 4th at Oakland Community College’s Auburn Hills campus, and we’ll be traveling statewide from there. Students are encouraged to register to vote, ask questions about services and take care of any Secretary of State business they might have, right on campus.”

The Mobile Office will be at Western Michigan University on at the flagpoles at Center Campus. This mobile effort is in addition to postcards sent to all residents on their 18th birthday reminding them to register to vote, and asking customers when they come in for driver's licenses and ID.
