Michigan SOS Roundtable Strategizes How to Woo Young Voters to the Polls
In an effort to boost voter turnout, the state of Michigan plans to bring politics to schools, workplaces and social media.

Compared to the rest of the nation, Michigan boasted a higher turnout of voters aged 18-29 in the 2022 midterm election. Yet, nearly 60% of active registered voters in that age group did not cast a ballot in 2022, according to Michigan Department of State data and national surveys on youth voter turnout.
