🗳️ For everyone across Michigan, Monday, October 19th, 2026, is the deadline to register to vote online or by mail for the November 3rd General Election.
🪶 WHY OUR NATIVE VOICES MATTER
As Native people, our voices matter, our votes matter, and our participation matters.
Will casting a ballot change everything overnight? No, but collectively, our voices can help shape the decisions being made about our communities and our future.
From the land and the waters of the Great Lakes to the air that we breathe, our natural resources, our sovereignty, healthcare, education, and the well-being of our families—these are issues that affect us every day and the next seven generations.
Casting your vote in elections is one way to make our voices heard rather than leaving every decision about our future to others.
And this isn't just about Native communities. Our neighbors, families, and communities throughout Michigan all have a stake in the decisions being made at the local, state, and federal levels.
Every conversation, every question, and every opportunity to engage helps keep our communities involved in shaping what comes next.
📅 WHAT HAPPENS AFTER OCTOBER 19TH?
If you miss the online or mail registration deadline, you can still register to vote in person at your city or township clerk's office, or an authorized satellite office, through Election Day, November 3rd.
You will need to bring proof of residency showing your name and current address. Accepted documents include:
✅ Michigan driver's license or state ID showing your current address
✅ Utility bill
✅ Bank or credit card statement
✅ Lease agreement
✅ Paycheck or government document showing your name and address
These documents can be presented in paper or electronic form.
You will also be asked to show photo ID when registering in person. If you don't have photo ID, you can sign an affidavit and still register, provided you meet the other requirements.
