Statement on the Upcoming Election and Student Safety - November 2, 2026

Due to recent national discussion about possible presence of federal Immigration Enforcement and Customs (ICE) and the possibility of other armed personnel near polling locations, has raised concerns among the HFC community and our student body about their safety while participating in the electoral process.

We would like to remind our student body that both Federal and Michigan state laws include provisions that provide significant protections against voter intimidation, coercion, and any form of unlawful interference with the election process.

With the upcoming General Elections ending Nov. 3rd, we want to remind all eligible voters of the locations in our community. We encourage you to check your voter eligibility at the Michigan Voter Information Center.

Voting Requirements and Tips

To vote in the state of Michigan, you must be:

  • A citizen of the United States of America.

  • A resident of Michigan and the city/township where you are applying to register to vote for at least 30 days prior to Election Day.

  • At least 18 years old by Election Day.

For information concerning out-of-state voting, please consult your respective state’s rules and regulations at Vote.Gov.

How To Proceed When Voting

  • If your registration is not up to date, visit your local clerk’s office with proof of residency.

  • Bring photo identification showing your address with you to the polls. If you do not have photo ID, you can still vote! You will need to sign an affidavit before voting. You can request this form when you go to the polls.

  • Request use of the Voter Assist Terminal if you have a disability or would prefer to use it.

  • Maintain the secrecy of your ballot. Keep your ballot in its secrecy sleeve, except when voting, and then up until the time you feed it into the tabulating machine.

  • Do not speak to anyone who says they are a poll watcher or challenger. These individuals are not allowed to speak to voters, and they must maintain their distance and not interfere with voting. Report violations to an election worker immediately.

  • Do not leave the polling place without voting. The law requires that anyone who is in line by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day must be allowed to vote.

  • Do not allow anyone else to cast your ballot for you or show it to anyone. You must personally place your private ballot into the tabulation machine.

  • Report any voter intimidation, harassment, or coercion that you see. Notify an election worker or contact the nonpartisan election protection hotline at 866-OUR- VOTE.
