March 10, 2020 Presidential Primary Election

The March 10, 2020 Presidential Primary Election will be held for the purpose of electing nominees for the Democratic and Republican Parties for the Office of the President of the United States, and, in some juristictions, to vote on local proposals. 
To see what will be on your ballot, go to washtenaw.org/elections for a complete list of candidates and of proposals. 
The 2020 Presidential Primary is designated a closed primary, just as it was in 2012 and 2016. Michigan Election Law requires voters wishing to participate in the March 10, 2020 Election to choose a Democratic ballot, a Republican ballot, or ballot without Presidential Primary (local issues only such as proposals) when voting absentee or at the polls on Election Day. While a voter must select a specific ballot, there is no political party registration in Michigan's voter registration system. 

Voter Registration 
The last day to register to vote in any manner other than in-person with the local clerk for the March 10, 2020 Election is Monday, February 24, 2020. After this date, anyone who qualifies as an elector may register to vote in person with proof of residency (MCL 168.492) at your county/city/village/township clerk's office.
Michigan now has on-line voter registration or you can fill out a form and mail it to your local clerk.
 
Absentee Voting 
To vote by Absent Voter Ballot, you must first submit a request through an Absent Voter Ballot Application, or through a written request. Absent Voter Ballot Applications may be submitted at your Clerk's Office through Monday, March 9, 2020 at 4:00 PM, though the last day to mail out ballots will be Friday, March 6, 2020. For your convenience, Clerk's Offices will be open on Saturday, March 7, 2020 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM to issue absent voter ballots.
