VOTE IN PERSON
BEFORE ELECTION DAY
There are two ways to vote in person before Election Day: at an early voting site or at your city or township clerk’s office.
Follow these steps to vote at an early voting site:
If you vote at an early voting site, you will be able to put your ballot into the tabulator, just like on Election Day.
STEP 1: Find out when and where early voting is offered for your community. To find this information, visit mi.gov/vote and click on “Your voter information.” You can also call your city or township clerk and ask for this information. Early voting must be offered in all statewide and federal elections for eight hours each day starting two Saturdays before Election Day through the Sunday before Election Day, but some communities will have early voting in additional elections and for additional days and hours.
STEP 2: Go to an early voting site for your community and check in with the poll workers.
STEP 3: Receive your ballot it, complete it, and put it into the tabulator–just like you do at your polling place on Election Day.
Remember: you have the right to vote if you are in line when your early voting site closes.
Some communities will have early voting for additional days and hours, but early voting must be available for at least the following days and hours:
From Saturday, October 24th through Sunday, November 1st for at least eight hours each day for the November 3rd General Election.
Follow these steps to vote at your city or township clerk’s office:
If you vote at your city or township clerk’s office, you will use an absentee ballot and place it into an envelope to be tabulated later.
STEP 1: Go to your city or township clerk’s office. Use one of these ways to find yours:
-
Visit mi.gov/vote and click on “Where are my clerk’s offices.” Enter your address to find your city or township clerk.
-
Call your city or township and ask for your clerk's hours and locations.

STEP 2: Complete an application for an absentee ballot and give it to the staff.
STEP 3: Complete your ballot, place it in the envelope they give you, sign the outside of the envelope with your official signature (the signature that you used to sign your driver’s license or voter registration form), and give it to the staff.
Remember: you have the right to receive a ballot if you are in line when your city or township clerk’s office closes.
