The commission includes four members affiliated with the Democratic Party, four with the Republican Party, and five not affiliated with a major political party.
Sue Smith has been active with the commission, and will talk about the history of the commission, the vote to establish it, the role that citizens still have, and establishing communities of interest. Anqunette Sarfoh serves as a commission monitor, and will talk about the role of monitors.
LWV Detroit and the Detroit Public Library are partnering in talks promoting voter education and tools for action.
