What is early voting?

Early voting is the opportunity to cast a ballot in person before Election Day. For voters, the early voting experience will be similar to the experience of voting at a polling place on Election Day and will include the act of putting your completed ballot into a tabulator. 

​

Where will early voting take place?

Early voting will take place at early voting sites. An early voting site will operate similarly to an Election Day polling place but can be set up to serve voters from more than one city or township. This means that your early voting site may not be located in your community. Early voting sites can also serve more voters than an Election Day polling place can serve. To find your early voting site, visit mi.gov/vote and click on “your voter information.”    ​

 

When will early voting take place?

Communities are required to offer early voting in each statewide and federal election for at least nine consecutive days, beginning on the second Saturday before the election and ending on the Sunday before the election, for at least eight hours each day. Communities also have the flexibility to offer early voting in additional elections and to add additional days and hours beyond what is required. To find out when early voting will be offered in your community, visit mi.gov/vote and click on “your voter information.”
