On-campus polling location celebrated, Election Day 2020 declared a university holiday  

The Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne Law is now, fittingly, home to the first polling location on the Wayne State University campus. Keith, a longtime federal judge who fought for civil and democratic rights — including voting rights — died last year. Beginning with the Michigan presidential primary on March 10, the majority of students who live on campus will be able to cast their ballots at what is now Detroit’s Precinct 149 in the Keith Center. Students who live in University Towers will continue to vote nearby at a church across the street from Old Main.
