Turn Up Turnout
Turn Up Turnout (TUT) is a student organization with a presence on all three U-M campuses. We focus on nonpartisan civic engagement for all interested students, as well as voter registration, education, and turnout for those who are eligible.
Need help with getting registered?
We’re off for the summer — kind of!
During the academic year, we hold regular voter registration tables across campus. While we’re not tabling weekly right now, we sometimes pop up for special events. Follow us on Instagram @umturnout to see where we’ll be next!
If you have questions or need help with voter registration, don’t hesitate to reach out to our email at voterregquestions@umich.edu, and one of our leaders will get back to you. We’re here to help with:
- Voter Registration: We understand that the registration process and information can be overwhelming. Want to talk it through with a human? Let’s chat!
- Voter Education: Learn about the voting process, key dates, and how to navigate your ballot.
- Voter Turnout: We use data from the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE) to set goals for student voting rates in major elections and to target messaging and outreach to students in the schools and colleges with the lowest voting rates.
Through TUT, I have participated in so many memorable and unique experiences from ushering lines at the polls on campus to presenting informational Dinners for Democracy to meeting and speaking with the Michigan Secretary of State.

Walk to the Polls
Walk to the Polls is a TUT initiative that encourages students to vote during Early Voting. We encourage units across campus — such as schools and colleges, departments, or student organizations — to sign up to host a Walk to the Polls for their students. If you’re interested in learning more about or hosting your own Walk to the Polls, please contact TUT at voterregquestions@umich.edu.
