At the center of Michigan’s strong voter turnout: How college campuses engage students

Michigan ranks third in the U.S. for youth voter turnout (58%) in 2024, driven by college campus initiatives and a pre-registration law allowing 16- to 17½-year-olds to register. The state set a record with 5.7 million voters in 2024, attributed to efforts like the Collegiate Student Advisory Task Force and improved election administration.
