On September 26, 2024, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson unveiled a series of new tools and system updates aimed at fortifying Michigan’s election security while improving access to voter information. Among the updates were enhancements to Michigan’s election management system, including upgraded security features to monitor and protect voting systems against cyber threats. Additionally, Benson introduced a new suite of tools designed to combat misinformation and provide voters with accurate, up-to-date, nonpartisan election details.
Key updates included absentee ballot tracking, allowing voters to track their ballots at all times. These tools provided transparency and ensured that voters had access to trusted sources of information, minimizing the risk of misinformation spreading through unofficial channels.
Another vital tool launched was the Michigan Voter Information Texting tool, which offered voters direct access to personalized election data, including polling place locations, early voting hours, and election day instructions. Secretary Benson’s leadership in implementing these tools was integral to promoting election security, voter education, and confidence in Michigan’s election systems, setting a new standard for transparency and integrity in the 2024 General Election.
