Wolverines turned out for voting in 2022—the data is in and student voter turnout was over 52% for the 2022 midterm election! With an average of about 30% turnout for other national institutions, U-M continues to lead in voting. Let's make sure this energy continues through this election season (Nov. 5, 2024, is your LAST day to cast your 2024 general election ballot).
The Ginsberg Center works with students, faculty, and staff across campus to advance knowledge, skills, and commitment to socially responsible civic engagement. Democratic engagement—including non-partisan voter engagement, civics and media literacy, and dialogue across difference—are crucial components within the full scope of our civic engagement work.
Our deepest thanks go to Turn Up Turnout for doing all the great work to register these important student voters, UMICH Votes for coordinating all voting-related activities on campus, and of course the Office of Budget and Planning for being the official home of this important voting data.
