DETROIT — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive directive Sunday designed to make it easier for people to register to vote when they interact with the state government.
Speaking during the 67th NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner in Detroit, she said she directed state departments and agencies that interact with the public in any way to find ways to help Michiganians register to vote.
"We have to fight back for our right to vote," Whitmer said to thousands of attendees at the dinner. "We must work to expand access to the ballot."
