Justice Department Monitors Michigan Polling Sites to Ensure Election Integrity
The Department of Justice is actively monitoring polling sites in four Michigan cities—Detroit, Hamtramck, Lansing, and East Lansing—during the state's primary election. This initiative, led by the Civil Rights Division, aims to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal voting rights laws. The Department regularly deploys staff to monitor elections across the country to protect the rights of all eligible citizens. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon emphasized the importance of these efforts in promoting free and fair elections. The monitoring will continue up to Election Day on November 3, 2026, with personnel available to address public inquiries and complaints regarding potential violations of federal voting rights laws.
