Last month, the Michigan Department of State (MDOS) wrapped up the department’s 2025 fall college tour.
The Secretary of State Mobile Office and its nonpartisan poll worker recruitment program, Democracy MVP, visited 24 Michigan colleges and universities in September and October, bringing services and information directly to students, faculty, and staff throughout the state.
This outreach encourages civic responsibility among young voters and makes transactions typically offered in person at branch offices – like renewing a driver’s license, registering to vote, or getting a REAL ID – easily accessible on their college campuses.
“Young people in Michigan continue to shape the future of our state and lead the nation in turnout at the polls,” Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said. “College is a busy time, so we meet students where they are and bring our department’s essential services directly to them. By making government more accessible, we support Michigan’s strong, civically engaged college and university communities."
The Secretary of State mobile office and Democracy MVP program made stops at the following college and universities:
Albion College
Alma College
Alpena Community College
Central Michigan University
Eastern Michigan University
Ferris State University
Grand Rapids Community College
Grand Valley State University
Henry Ford College
Kalamazoo College
Macomb Community College
Michigan State University
Michigan Technological University
Muskegon Community College
Northern Michigan University
Northwestern Michigan College
Oakland University
University of Detroit Mercy
University of Michigan – Ann Arbor
University of Michigan – Dearborn
University of Olivet
Washtenaw Community College
Wayne State University
Western Michigan University
Since its debut in fall 2021 with just one single van in Southeast Michigan, the mobile office program’s fleet has now grown to seven vehicles serving the entire state, making stops at senior centers, veterans’ organizations, health fairs, and other community events.
In 2025, mobile offices brought accessible Secretary of State services to more than 1,100 events in communities throughout Michigan and conducted nearly 27,000 transactions for residents.
