Voters reminded to cast their ballot
Jurisdictions in 68 Michigan counties will hold elections on May 2. Check this by county list [ [link removed] ] to see if your community is one of them.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Check your registration status at the Michigan Voter Information Center at Michigan.gov/Vote [ [link removed] ].
The Secretary of State encourages voters who already have an absentee ballot at home to fill it out and sign the back of the envelope. Voters should deliver it to their city or township clerk's secure ballot drop box, or to the clerk's office if possible, to avoid any U.S. Postal Service delays. Each jurisdiction in the state is now required to have a drop box available for voters to use.
In-person voting will be available in every jurisdiction holding an election for voters who choose to do so.
absentee envelopes
Voting and returning an absentee ballot
You have until 8 p.m. on Election Day to complete your ballot and return it to the clerk's office or drop box. Your ballot will not be counted unless your signature is on the outside of the return envelope and matches your signature on file.
If you're already registered at your current address, you can request an absent voter ballot in person at your clerk's office anytime up to 4 p.m. on the day prior to the election (May 1).
If you still have your absentee ballot and decide that you want to vote in person, you may do so by surrendering the ballot at your polling place. If you lost your absentee ballot or if it was destroyed, you may sign a statement affirming this and vote at the polls.
In-person voting
Polling places will be open in every jurisdiction on Election Day for voters who want to vote in person.
Each polling location will have at least one voting station adapted to allow a person to vote while seated.
In addition, all voters, including voters with disabilities, have access to a Voter Assist Terminal [ [link removed] ] in all polling places. The Voter Assist Terminal helps the voter mark a ballot. It will mark the ballot with the voter's choices but does not tally the votes. Once the ballot is marked, it is counted in exactly the same fashion as all other ballots.
