All important reasons to get to the polls in one of the many great cars you're known to produce. Here's all the info you need to vote this year.
Register To VoteUPDATE
Due to the passage of the statewide ballot proposal, all eligible and registered voters in Michigan may now request an absent voter ballot without providing a reason.
A Circuit Court recently ruled that all mail ballots must be received by 8 pm on Election Day. If you still have a mail ballot, drop it off in person as soon as possible.
If you witness or experience any voter suppression or intimidation, call, 1-833-648-6837
Why Is This State Special
Michigan is the battleground state that Trump won by only 10,704 votes, the smallest margin in 2016. After the 2016 loss, organizers stepped up their efforts, delivering significant 2018 victories, like winning the governorship and seven other Republican seats. This organizing work positions Michigan as one of the best opportunities to flip a state for Democrats in 2020.
