Our Mission
Michigan Fair Elections Institute operates on the principle that talented people will achieve extraordinary results when they work as a team toward shared, research-based goals. MFEI’s mission is to restore integrity to Michigan’s elections, and its foundation rests on two pillars: Election Oversight and Educational Outreach.
The organization’s network of more than 2,000 volunteers spans half the state’s 83 counties, and MFEI is known for its ability to respond quickly and effectively to emerging situations.
​
The process works like this: Volunteers in MFEI’s Election Oversight efforts investigate election integrity issues and become involved election processes. Then MFEI’s Educational Outreach volunteers verify the findings, work to create public awareness, and take steps to remedy the issues.
The organization’s statewide committees support MFEI’s areas of focus and consist of Communications, Litigation, Soles to Rolls (voter roll analysis), and the Chapter Leaders Council. MFEI is a charitable 501(c)3 educational organization (IRS tax-exempt #92-3943258).
