Find My Polling Place — Vote on Election Day
Election Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5.
Registered voters can cast their ballot at their polling place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
As long as you’re in line by 8 p.m., you’ll be allowed to cast your vote.
Here are some reminders before heading to a polling place:
☑ Look up the location of your polling place to ensure it has not moved.
☑ Make sure you are registered to vote, and that your voter registration address is up to date.
☑ If you are not registered, or you need to make updates to your registration, eligible residents have until 8 p.m. on Election Day to visit their local clerk’s office to register to vote, or make updates, and may cast their ballot same-day. See more below on same-day voter registration.
☑ You can preview your ballot online before heading to your polling place.
☑ Need a ride to the polls? Nonpartisan organizations and companies are offering free rides to the polls in a number of communities.
☑ Bring your photo ID to the polls if you are in possession of one. Photo ID is not a requirement to vote in Michigan.
☑ Do not wear campaign clothes or accessories into or within 100 feet of a polling place (stickers, hats, pins, etc.).
If you have not yet registered, you still have time to register and vote in this election! Unregistered voters, or voters who have not updated their registration to their current address, have until 8 p.m. on Election Day to visit their local clerk’s office with proof of residency to register to vote or make updates. To vote, they may either request an absentee ballot and vote at their clerk's office or go to their polling place to vote if time allows. So long as an eligible, unregistered resident is in line at their clerk’s office by 8 p.m., they may register to vote and cast an absentee ballot.

If you have filled out an absentee ballot at home, it is now too late to return it in the mail. Your completed absentee ballot must be received by your city or township clerk by 8 p.m. on Election Day. At this time, you should hand-deliver your absentee ballot to your clerk’s office. You can also bring your absentee ballot to your Election Day polling place to place into a tabulator yourself. If you decide to do so, bring your ballot in the envelope provided by the clerk, and election inspectors will assist you in tabulating your ballot.
