Do you have a plan to vote this fall?
My department is working to answer your questions, protect public safety and carry out the will of the voters. Every election, we collaborate with other agencies at the local, state, and federal level to ensure Michigan’s elections remain safe, accurate, and fair.
Technology makes it easier than ever to access information about elections, as well as candidates and their policy positions. Unfortunately, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has also made it easy for misinformation on all of the same topics to spread to voters. That’s why when it comes to election information, you should always double-check your facts with at least one official source – like a trusted news outlet, your local clerk, or the Michigan Bureau of Elections.
As part of our efforts to combat misinformation this election season, my department put together the following guide to help you recognize artificial intelligence and access accurate information about elections online. The Michigan Voter Information Center is also an invaluable resource to help you register, determine your polling location, track your ballot, and more.
Our democracy is stronger when people are well-informed and when there is widespread participation among eligible voters. Remember to cast your ballot on or before November 5 to make your voice heard this fall.
Sincerely,
Dana Nessel
