The 2024 general election is less than 24 hours away, and the WDET News team has been hard at work bringing Michigan residents the information they need about early voting, election security, and the many candidates running for president, Congress, state Legislature, county leadership positions and more.
Pre-election and Election Day coverage
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will join Stephen Henderson on Created Equal Monday to share her takeaways from Michigan’s early in-person voting period, which ended on Sunday. Then on Tuesday, Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist and Detroit community activist Desiree Cooper joins the show to reflect on the current state of American democracy and how this historic election might affect its future.
On The Metro, Imani Foster — communications lead for Detroit education nonprofit 482Forward — joins the show Monday to discuss early voting engagement. Later in the hour, we hear from Dance for Democracy Co-director Ellen Vial to talk about a dance party at Spot Lite Detroit on Election night to help encourage civic engagement among young people. The event will feature performances from Detroit artists Stacey Hotwaxx Hale, Haute to Death and more.
WDET News Director Jerome Vaughn will join the show on Election Day to talk about WDET’s election coverage, election integrity and what to expect on election night.
