Voters

AARP and POLITICO Magazine teamed up to launch“The Deciders” six months ago, to explore the power of 50-and-older voters in the 2018 election year.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 6. Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm.

A campaign to energize the African American faith-based community to turn out at the polls in the Lansing area Nov. 6 has been launched by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and AARP Michigan, in partnership with the Skinner Leadership Institute.

Michigan’s general election Nov. 6 includes races for governor, a U.S. Senate seat, all 14 U.S. House seats, 148 state legislative seats, secretary of state and attorney general.

AARP did not authorize the ad from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee being aired in the Metro Detroit TV market that attributes information used in the political commercial to AARP. Also, we did not participate in its production.

More than 2 million Michigan voters went to the polls on Tuesday, setting an all-time state record for turnout in a primary election.

Real Possibilities, a new AARP Michigan TV show, will premiere on WLAJ-TV in the Lansing/Jackson area at 9 a.m. Tuesday, right after Good Morning America.

In keeping with a nationwide AARP campaign, the AARP state office is urging Michiganders to “Be the Difference. Vote.”

WASHINGTON, DC – In a newly released AARP-Politico poll, Florida voters age 50 and over do not feel better off financially despite a growing economy. The poll also found that Social Security and health care will be very important to 50-plus voters when they cast ballots for Congress in the mid-term elections, and they are deeply concerned about the future of Medicare.
