Dear Friend,

Early in-person voting begins statewide tomorrow in Michigan!

New this November, eligible citizens in Michigan can vote early in-person from Saturday, October 26 – Sunday, November 3.

Early in-person voting is now available because of our work to make it easier for every eligible Michigander to cast their ballot. Last year, I signed a package of bipartisan bills making it easier to vote in a secure way, ensuring Michiganders can make their voices heard in every election. These bills established nine days of early in-person voting, protected equal access to the ballot box, and increased voter registration opportunities.

No matter who you’re voting for, I’ll keep fighting against voter suppression and make it easier for you to cast your vote and have it counted. Thousands of Republican, Democratic, and independent election clerks, staff, and volunteers work together to ensure Michigan's voting process is secure and accurate. Strict security protocols are enforced to make sure Michigan’s elections system, including early in-person voting, is among the strongest and most secure in the nation. For more info, visit mi.gov/electionsecurity.

I’ll keep working alongside Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to ensure every eligible Michigander has the ability to cast their vote and make their voice heard.

Sincerely,

Gretchen Whitmer

Governor

How to Vote Early In-Person 

Michigan now requires at least nine days of early voting for eight hours a day ahead of federal and statewide elections, starting the second Saturday before an election until the Sunday before the election.  At early voting sites, you can fill out your ballot and cast your ballot in the tabulator and get an "I Voted" sticker just as you would on Election Day. Early voting can help you avoid long lines.

Early voting in this election begins statewide tomorrow, Saturday, October 26, but some cities including Detroit, Canton Township, and East Lansing have already begun their early in-person voting periods.

To find out where you can vote early in-person, go to michigan.gov/vote, or click "Where do I go to Early Vote?" and enter the address where you're registered to vote. A list of early voting sites and the days and hours you can vote early will be provided there.

Michiganders have until Sunday, November 3 to vote early in-person.

Make a Plan to Vote

☑ Make sure you are registered to vote, and that your voter registration address is up to date:

☑ If you’re not registered to vote, eligible citizens can register to vote up until and on Election Day at their city or township clerk’s office. Because the next election is within the next 14 days, registering to vote online is no longer available.

☑ Be informed about your options to vote in Michigan and upcoming elections:

☑ Visit the online Michigan Voter Information Center, your hub for voting information where you can request an absentee ballot, see where you can vote early in-person, or find your polling place for Election Day:
