All eligible citizens are encouraged to register to vote and keep their voter registration address up-to-date. If you have a Michigan driver’s license or state ID card, you can register to vote or update your information online at the Michigan Secretary of State website.
Otherwise, complete a paper voter registration application and return it to your local clerk. Note, if you wait until two weeks before the election, you must register in person with your local clerk and provide proof of residency.
Michigan election law anticipates that not all voters will have photo ID. Voters who do not have an acceptable photo ID or forget to bring their acceptable photo ID to the polls may vote like any other voter by signing an affidavit that is available.
Polling locations are open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Election Day. Voters can visit the Michigan Secretary of State website to find their polling place and view a sample ballot.
Michigan election law allows voters who do not have or have forgotten their photo identification to vote by signing an affidavit. This ensures voting rights for all eligible citizens, even if they face challenges presenting identification.
Online voter registration in Michigan saves voters time and effort. Simply visit the Michigan Secretary of State website and follow the easy steps to complete the registration process.
To protect your right to vote, verify your voter registration information and update it if necessary before Election Day. This helps avoid potential issues that could affect your ability to cast your ballot.
