DETROIT, MI — This Saturday, October 24, as in-person early voting begins across Michigan, MI Poder is bringing our Gente together for Día de los Votos, a free community celebration in partnership with Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation (DHDC) and Fantazma Market & Cafe. 

Inspired by traditions of remembrance, family, and cultural celebration, Día de los Votos connects where we come from with the future we have a hand in shaping. The stories of our families, the sacrifices of those who came before us, and the communities we have built all shape what we carry forward. Our voices belong in the decisions that will shape the next generation, too. 

Taking place from 2 to 6 p.m. at 1211 Trumbull in Detroit, Día de los Votos will feature local vendors and artisans, live music, cultural performances, a comedy show, free food, free tattoos, free haircuts, family activities, and voter education. Free shuttles will also transport attendees to Clark Park for early voting.

For MI Poder, getting people involved in our democracy starts with bringing people together. We wanted to create a space where our Gente could spend time with family and friends, celebrate our culture, support local businesses, and make a plan to vote. Día de los Votos is an opportunity to do all of that while connecting our community to the tools and resources they need to ensure their voices are heard loud and clear in this year’s election and beyond.

Making Voting More Accessible

In 2022, Michigan voters approved Proposal 2, establishing a constitutional right to at least nine consecutive days of in-person early voting for statewide and federal elections. This expanded access gives voters more flexibility in deciding when and how to cast their ballots, and we fought for the right to have it. 

For the November 3 general election, early in-person voting runs from October 24 through November 1. All registered Michigan voters can vote early in person without applying for an absentee ballot or submitting a separate application. Voters can visit their designated early voting site during the early voting period, receive a ballot, mark their choices, and place their ballot into a tabulator. Ballots are tabulated on Election Day.

Early voting offers an important alternative for people balancing work schedules, family responsibilities, and other commitments. Instead of trying to fit voting into a busy Tuesday, voters can make time over the weekend, potentially avoid Election Day lines, and encourage friends and family to participate alongside them. 

Expanding access, however, is only part of the equation. Our community is also in search of clear information, trusted resources, and opportunities to engage in ways that feel relevant to their lives. That is where Día de los Votos comes in.

Culture Is Part of Building Power

For MI Poder, building political power goes beyond encouraging people to show up at the polls every election cycle. It also means building lasting relationships and tools, and ensuring Latino communities in Michigan have the information and opportunities they need to shape our state’s future. 

By bringing voter education into a cultural celebration, Día de los Votos makes room for people to engage on their own terms. Attendees can enjoy a day with their families, connect with local artists and businesses, create their plan to vote, and take a shuttle to cast their ballots — all in one place. We hope that folks who attend can walk away feeling our commitment to year-round civic engagement and building spaces where Gente feel welcomed, informed, and empowered to participate in democracy. 

Our communities have always carried our histories forward through the choices we make, the people we stand alongside, and the future we build for our families. Voting is one way we carry that responsibility forward — and building power together means staying involved long after the polls close. 

Día de los Votos is free and open to all. Join MI Poder, DHDC, and Fantazma Market & Cafe on Saturday, October 24, from 2PM to 6PM at 1211 Trumbull, Detroit, MI 48216. 

Come celebrate with your family, connect with your community, and take a shuttle to go vote! For more voter information: Visit mipoder.me/voterhub

Día de los Votos: Honrando nuestras raíces y construyendo nuestro futuro

DETROIT, MI — Este sábado, 24 de octubre, al inicio de la votación anticipada y en persona en todo Michigan, MI Poder está reuniendo a nuestra Gente para el Día de los Votos, una celebración comunitaria en colaboración con el Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation (DHDC) y Fantazma Market & Cafe. 

Inspirado en las tradiciones y en la celebración de la cultura, el Día de los Votos une nuestros orígenes con el futuro que deseamos formar. Las historias de nuestras familias, los sacrificios de nuestros antepasados y las comunidades que hemos creado los llevamos en cada paso que damos hacia adelante. Nuestras voces deben ser parte de las decisiones que le darán forma a la próxima generación. 

El evento se llevará a cabo de 2PM a 6PM en el 1211 Trumbull en Detroit; habrá vendedores y artesanos locales, música en vivo, presentaciones culturales, un show de comedia, comida, tatuajes, cortes de cabello gratuitos, actividades familiares y educación para votantes. También tenemos autobuses que llevarán a los votantes a Clark Park para votar de manera anticipada. 

Para MI Poder, un paso importante para que la gente se involucre en nuestra democracia es reunir a las personas. Queríamos crear un espacio donde nuestra Gente pudiera pasar tiempo con familiares y amigos, celebrar nuestra cultura, apoyar a los vendedores locales y planear su participación en la votación. El Día de los Votos permite hacer todo eso y, al mismo tiempo, proveer a nuestra comunidad de los recursos y herramientas necesarios para asegurarse de que sus voces se escuchen con orgullo en las elecciones de este año y mucho después. 

Hacer el voto más accesible para todos

En el 2022, los votantes de Míchigan aprobaron la Propuesta 2, que estableció el derecho constitucional a contar con al menos nueve días consecutivos de votación anticipada en persona para las elecciones estatales y federales. Este acceso, por el cual luchamos, les da a los votantes más flexibilidad para decidir cuándo y cómo ejercer su voto. 

La votación temprana y en persona, para las elecciones generales del 3 de noviembre, se llevará a cabo del 24 de octubre al 1 de noviembre. Todos los votantes registrados en Michigan pueden votar en persona sin necesidad de solicitar una boleta por correo ni presentar una solicitud separada. Los votantes pueden visitar su centro de votación anticipado durante ese tiempo, recibir una boleta, marcar sus opciones y meter su boleta en una máquina de conteo. Las boletas serán contadas hasta el día de las elecciones.

La votación anticipada y en persona ofrece una alternativa importante para las personas que navegan con horarios largos de trabajo, responsabilidades familiares y otros compromisos. En lugar de intentar votar durante un martes ocupado, los votantes pueden hacer tiempo durante el fin de semana, evitando las filas del día de elección y hasta llevar a amigos y familiares a participar juntos. 

Sin embargo, expandir el acceso al voto es solo una parte de la solución para promover el voto. Nuestra comunidad también busca información clara, recursos confiables y oportunidades para participar de maneras que se sientan relevantes para sus vidas. Ahí es donde encaja nuestro evento del Día de los Votos. 

La cultura es parte de crecer el poder

Para nosotros en MI Poder, crecer el poder político va más allá de animar a la gente a que vaya a votar en cada elección. También significa crear alianzas y herramientas que nos duren, y asegurarnos de que las comunidades latinas de Michigan tengan la información y las oportunidades que necesitan para dar forma al futuro de nuestro estado. 

Al integrar la educación para los votantes en una celebración cultural, como el Día de los Votos, les da espacio a las personas para participar a su propio ritmo. Los participantes pueden disfrutar de un día con sus familias, conectarse con artistas y negocios locales, hacer su plan para votar y tomar un transporte gratuito para ir a votar — todo en un solo lugar. Esperamos que se sienta nuestro compromiso con la participación cívica durante todo el año y con la creación de espacios donde la gente sea bienvenida, informada y empoderada para participar en la democracia. 

Nuestras comunidades siempre han mantenido viva nuestra historia a través de las decisiones que tomamos, al lado de las personas con quienes nos reunimos y el futuro que construimos para nuestras familias. Votar es una forma de asumir esa responsabilidad, y fortalecer nuestro poder juntos significa seguir involucrados mucho después de que terminen las elecciones. 

El Día de los Votos es un evento gratuito para todos. Únete a MI Poder, DHDC y Fantazma Market & Cafe el sábado 24 de octubre, de 2PM a 6PM, en 1211 Trumbull, Detroit, MI 48216. 

¡Ven a celebrar con tu familia, convivir con tu comunidad y utiliza nuestro transporte para ir a votar!
