Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has announced applications to serve on the 2022-2023 Michigan Collegiate Student Advisory Task Force are now open to college and university students. The Department of State is accepting applications through February 15 for the nonpartisan group aiming to improve youth voter engagement. Members are selected to serve for one calendar year from April 2022 until April 2023. Applicants must be currently enrolled in a college or university in Michigan. A total of 20 to 25 students statewide will be selected to serve, with no more than two students representing any one school.

First founded in 2019, the task force brings together students from across the state who are interested in civic engagement. Members serve as liaisons between the department and their student body, school administrators, and peers. The group advises on the experiences and barriers to student voters, with the goal of ensuring young people’s voices are heard in elections. The task force works to develop and enact solutions to promote voter engagement and identify resources to implement solutions.
