Which voting option is best for you? Make a plan to vote!
Thanks to expansions to voting options via Proposal 2, Michigan voters can now choose which way to cast their vote makes sense for them!
Vote Early!
You can now vote before Election Day in Michigan for statewide and federal elections! City and township clerks and other early voting locations will offer nine days of early voting ahead of the November election. You can also take your absentee ballot to your city or township clerk’s office or early voting site and submit it into a tabulator during Michigan’s 9 days of early voting leading up to Election Day! Find your early voting location here >>>
Vote Absentee!
Michigan voters can vote by requesting an absentee ballot via mail or directly at a local clerk’s office beginning 40 days before each election. You can also join the permanent absentee ballot list by simply checking a box on the application – and automatically receive an absentee ballot every election!
Vote via Drop Box!
Don’t have time to make it to the polls? No problem! If you have an absentee ballot, you can cast your vote by returning the ballot in its sealed envelope to a secure drop box in your community. Ballots must be returned before 8 p.m. on Election Day. Find a secure drop box >>>
Vote on Election Day!
Haven’t voted absentee or voted early? Head to the polls on Election Day to cast your vote! Polls will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. You must go to your specified polling location on Election Day and all Michigan voters who get in line at their polling location by 8 p.m. have the right to vote – no questions asked. Find your polling location >>>
