MiVote.org provides election day resources

Election Day is only eight days away. Many political analysts feel this year's election is one of the most important elections in state history.

UM-Dearborn, in partnership with Detroit Public Television and Center for Michigan, have developed an interactive website called MiVote.org to provide Michigan residents with comprehensive candidate information and an opportunity to share views and opinions with others.

Mivote.org provides the following content:

" Video recording of the only debate between gubernatorial candidates Rich Snyder and Virg Bernero
" Candidate profiles and videos of state house of representative and senate races
" Political insights by Tim Kiska, assistant professor of communications at UM-Dearborn
" Political news and information impacting local, state and national elections

In addition to mivote.org the campus will play host to two Election Day forums:
