DJs spinning beats at more than 750 polls across Michigan

Michigan voters heading to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 5 might be greeted by some beats.

More than 750 polling locations across Michigan are expected to have DJs spinning music during the general election, according a national organization called DJs at the Polls .

DJs at the Polls partnered with community organizations to recruit local DJs to perform on Election Day. The organization that's "committed to making Election Day feel like a holiday" aimed to place DJs at more than 8,500 polling locations across the country this election.

"DJs at the Polls believes that whole communities - whether they're voters or not - should know that Democracy is worthy of celebration," the organization's website says.

DJs at the Polls, a non-partisan Get Out the Vote organization, was founded in Philadelphia 16 years ago with the goal of celebrating voting.

It now places DJs at thousands of polling locations across 11 states, choosing areas with "large numbers of low-propensity voters." The DJs are spread through large cities like Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta and Charlotte as well as scattered throughout several states. Voters likely got a text or postcard letting them know about the DJ at their polling location.

Several Michigan DJs posted about performing Tuesday in Detroit, Grand Rapids and Battle Creek.

"When voting meets dancing, magic happens! Loving the energy as everyone grooves and casts their ballots. Who says you can't mix democracy with a good time?" said a Facebook post from Detroit area DJ Mr. All Day.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, who is running against Republican challenger Mike Rogers, posted about DJs stationed at her polling location to "to engage and hype up voters."
