MISSION STATEMENT
MiVote.org serves to empower the citizens of Michigan with the political information they need to make the important decisions about Michigan’s budget and government issues in 2011. MiVote.org is a non-partisan, interactive, video-based website that informs and engages the citizens on key issues in public discussion. MiVote.org allows Michigan citizens to share their opinions, debate fellow voters and upload their own opinion videos.
ABOUT MIVOTE.ORG
MiVote.org was launched during the 2008 Presidential campaign as a partnership between the University of Michigan-Dearborn and Detroit Public Television, as a way for students and others in the community to express their views on issues important to them in the ongoing campaign. The site was also utilized during the 2009 Detroit City Council races to profile candidates. In 2010, MiVote.org’s “Road Show” was able to provide profiles on every candidate seeking state office, more than 200 candidate interviews, and dozens of debates among candidates seeking office.
In 2011, MiVote.org hopes to make it easier for citizens to understand and engage in the conversations facing Michigan and shaping its future. The site is operated by Detroit Public Television in partnership with public interest groups across Michigan.
