Wayne County, MI - Michigan's general election is on November 8, 2022. As election day grows near, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy wants to make clear that anyone who intimidates voters as they attempt to vote in person, or when they place a ballot in a drop box will face criminal prosecution. Election intimidation is a crime.

As Americans we must all be committed to ensuring that every eligible voter can safely cast their vote at a ballot box or in person without harassment and that each vote be counted. Poll observers and all participants must abide by the laws of Michigan throughout the election process.

"The right to vote is one of the most important functions of our Democratic system of government. We must be vigilant in protecting the rights of our citizens to be free from intimidation and the threat of harm. During these times it is necessary to show that we are committed to each voter's ability to safely cast their vote regardless of their political affiliation, race, ethnicity, religion, gender or gender identity. Discrimination and threats will not be tolerated during our election process," said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.

Exercise your right to vote. If you experience voter intimidation, please immediately contact your local police department.
