Michigan Voting Location and Outreach Tool

Developed by the Center for Inclusive Democracy (CID) at the University of Southern California, this interactive web-based mapping tool is designed to assist Michigan elections officials in the state’s 1,520 municipalities.

The Voting Location Siting Tool is now the Voting Location and Outreach Tool!
CID recently updated the Michigan Voting Location and Outreach Tool with voting locations at the municipality level for the 2022 general election. Please see the What's New page for more information.

About The Tool

The Michigan Voting Location and Outreach Tool aids election officials in the siting process by identifying optimal voting locations for half-mile grid squares across a municipality. Election officials are able to find specific locations for consideration in these areas using local knowledge of their municipality’s resources and needs. The Voting Location and Outreach Tool also provides visualization of demographic and voter data at the community level in all municipalities. These local data can be used to inform voter outreach and education efforts.

Note: The Tool sites the number of municipality voting locations in the most recent comparable election publicly disclosed by Michigan city and township election offices. The Voting Location and Outreach Tool’s purpose is to model the location of municipality voting sites as a baseline, not to suggest what number of voting locations best serves a community.
