Election Day is right around the corner and the rapid response workgroup ⏤ a group of about a dozen partner organizations ⏤ is busy coordinating the systems for identifying, reporting, and addressing voter suppression.
The rapid response team can only respond to voter suppression if the suppression is reported.
Voter suppression can range from very blatant acts of voter intimidation at the polls to less obvious actions that disenfranchise voters, such as a clerk refusing to provide an absentee ballot to a voter without a photo ID.
All Michiganders are encouraged to report incidents of voter suppression in one of two ways:
- Call the Michigan Election Protection Hotline (855-I-VOTE-MI)
- Submit an online incident report. (A link to this form is also located on the MichiganVoting.org homepage.)
