If you have a teen at home, they may be able to pre-register to vote. This year, Michigan has joined 16 other states, and Washington DC, allowing teens who are 16 and 17 years old to pre-register to vote. Many hope it will encourage young voters to get involved in politics earlier and be more informed on issues in their area. Plus, this will reduce wait times due to last-minute registration, as Michigan allows same-day registration and voting. To pre-register, head to the Michigan Voter Information Center's website.
