University of Michigan issued the following announcement on Sept. 21
The University of Michigan community will now be able to register to vote and cast early, in-person absentee ballots on campus.
Several units at U-M have partnered with the city of Ann Arbor to transform gallery space at the U-M Museum of Art into the state’s first satellite city clerk’s office located on a university campus.
It opens Sept. 22 — National Voter Registration Day — and will remain open until Nov. 3, with absentee ballots available beginning Sept. 24.
The effort was kick-started by Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design professors Stephanie Rowden and Hannah Smotrich as part of their multiyear research effort inspired by historically low student voter turnout.
“The work that we do lies at the intersection of art and design and civic engagement, so we were thrilled that so many people were able to come together during this time to make this happen at UMMA,” said Rowden, who worked on a student voting campaign with Smotrich during the last election.
