VAAC in Action Across Detroit

Over the past week, Voting Access for All Coalition (VAAC) has been on the ground helping people across Michigan exercise their right to vote — from clearing warrants to celebrating early voting and sharing clear, accurate information about how to cast a ballot.

Fresh Starts at the Warrant Clinic

At last Saturday’s Detroit Warrant Clinic, nearly 1,000 misdemeanor and traffic arrest warrants were resolved, giving hundreds of people a second chance and a fresh start. VAAC was proud to be part of this life-changing event, reminding everyone that in Michigan:

• You can vote even if you have a felony or misdemeanor.
• You can vote while on probation, parole, or tether.
• You can vote without a Michigan ID or stable housing.
• You can vote if you have a disability or are a naturalized citizen.

This work is about more than clearing warrants — it’s about restoring freedom, dignity, and the power to participate in democracy fully.

Party at the Polls

VAAC also joined the City of Detroit’s Party at the Polls to celebrate the start of early voting (Oct. 25 – Nov. 2). With music, community, and information, we reminded voters that early voting is open now — no need to wait until Election Day.

Visit votingaccessforall.org or your local clerk’s website to find early voting locations and hours.

Where and How to Vote

Still need to register? There’s time.
You can visit your local clerk’s office this weekend to register and vote the same day.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4, but early voting continues through Nov. 2 — and your voice matters now.
