In an effort to help voters in Oakland County and throughout Michigan participate in their democracy with confidence, Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Lisa Brown is helping mark National Voter Education Week (NVEW), a digital campaign to equip communities with all of the information they need to be informed, confident, and prepared voters.
Running this year from Monday, October 4, through Friday, October 8, NVEW 2021 is a national effort to help communities build on the 2020 election’s historic turnout levels—which were reached despite a global pandemic—by helping voters in Oakland County and around the country to establish a voter identity and create a habit of voting in every single election.
“National Voter Education Week is a great opportunity to encourage all eligible citizens to get registered and make a plan to engage in our democracy through voting,” said Brown. “I welcome any chance to educate folks about ways to make their voice heard through voting.”
National Voter Education Week helps voters bridge the gap between registering to vote and actually casting a ballot. During this week of interactive education, Brown and the Oakland County Clerk’s Office will help voters throughout the community identify the tools at their disposal to find their polling location, understand their ballot, make a plan to vote in person or by mail, and more.
“Though presidential elections get more attention, local elections take place every year, and a single vote can make a bigger difference in outcomes. That is why it is important for all community members reflect on the voting process every single year,” said Brown.
Twenty-eight Oakland County municipalities have elections on November 2, including leadership posts in cities and villages. Absentee ballots are available for request through local city and township clerk offices.
