Eligible voters are sitting in Michigan jails today, and the November 3 election is quickly approaching. We need to make sure eligible detained voters have the information, access, and support they need to register and cast a ballot.

Join Voting Access For All Coalition for the Vote Unlocked MI Kickoff Convening, an in-person jail voting workshop bringing together jail leadership, clerks and election officials, voting-rights organizations, directly impacted leaders, and legal partners from Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Genesee Counties.

Our goal is to identify gaps before Election Day, strengthen coordination between jails and election officials, share resources and effective practices, and develop clear pathways for eligible voters in jail to register, request a ballot, and vote.

Attendees will also receive jail voting materials and resources that can be used and shared with eligible detained voters, jail staff, election officials, community organizations, and others supporting voting access. These materials are intended to strengthen voter education, clarify eligibility, and support registration and ballot access inside Michigan jails.

Register for the Vote Unlocked MI Kickoff Convening to receive location and additional event details.

If an eligible voter in a Michigan jail does not have access to a ballot, we should know about it before Election Day, not after.
