The polls will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. To find your polling place, go to mi.gov/vote and click on “Where is my polling place?” or call (866)-OUR-VOTE | (866) 687-8683. If you are in line by 8 p.m., you have the right to vote.
If you are not registered to vote, or you need to update your registration, you can register to vote or update your registration in person at your city or township clerk’s office with proof of residency until 8 p.m. on Election Day. After you register, you can vote by absentee ballot at your clerk’s office.
Unless you are serving in the military or living overseas, your absentee ballot must be received by your city or township clerk by 8 p.m on Election Day. If you still have your ballot, drop it off at your city or township clerk’s office, or return it using a drop box in your city or township. You can find the location and hours of your clerk’s office and drop box(es) by visiting mi.gov/vote and clicking on “Your voter information.”
If you are serving in the military or living overseas, your absentee ballot must be postmarked by Election Day (May 5) and received by May 11 in order to count.
If you have any questions about voting or need to report an issue, call the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline at (866) OUR-VOTE | (866) 687-8683 or one of the hotlines available in a language other than English for assistance.
