Lies and conspiracy theories about our elections are running rampant. But the best way to fight back is through spreading accurate information – and that’s where you come in!
Many voters don’t know that before every election in Michigan, our county, city, and township clerks are required by law to run tests on their machines to ensure they are working properly. These tests are known as Logic and Accuracy Tests, and they are underway right now – plus, they are open to the public.
Logic and Accuracy Tests are an important part of what makes our elections secure and accurate. You can help fight disinformation by attending a test and sharing what you learn with your friends and neighbors.

Even though Michiganders tend to have higher confidence in our elections than in other states, we still have far too many who spread conspiracy theories and who simply don’t trust the process.
To that we say, “SHOW UP!”
There are several ways to learn more about our elections, and observing this testing process in your community leaves even the biggest skeptics with more trust.
These tests help us all understand and support the fact that our election results in Michigan can and should be trusted.
If yours hasn't happened yet, we want you to go and be a witness to the process. Contact your local clerk to learn more about testing in your community.
Looking for other ways to be a part of the process?
