This week, The Pew Center called Michigan’s elections system a “high performer” based on multiple objective measures of election performance, according to a press release from Secretary of State Ruth Johnson. The study calculated and averaged a state’s overall performance by measuring more than a dozen separate indicators that make up the overall score. Indicators include absentee ballots rejected or unreturned; data completeness; disability or illness-related voting problems; military and overseas ballots rejected or unreturned; online registration availability; post-election audit required; provisional ballots cast; provisional ballots rejected; registration or absentee ballot problems; voting information look-up tools; and voting technology accuracy.
