Need weekend plans? Register and/or vote in the Presidential Primary! With Election Day just four days away, this Digital Digest is about how to register and vote this weekend.

 This weekend (February 24-25), all city and township clerks must be open for at least eight hours for voter registration and in-person absentee voting. Remember, at this point, the only way to register to vote in the Presidential Primary is in person at your city or township clerk’s office with proof of residency (like a utility bill or paycheck). To find the location and hours of your local clerk’s office, you can go to mi.gov/vote and click on “where are my clerk’s offices.” We created a shareable graphic (below) that outlines this process. Please share it with your communities! 

 Once you register to vote at your local clerk’s office, you can request and complete an absentee ballot there, or you can vote in person at an early voting site or on Election Day at your polling place. Early voting sites must be open through February 25, including on Saturday and Sunday. For details on your early voting site(s), visit mi.gov/vote and click on “Where do I go to early vote.” 

 If you have any questions about voting or need to report an issue, call the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline at (866) OUR-VOTE or one of the hotlines available in a language other than English for assistance. Promote the Vote is monitoring all Michigan calls to the hotline now through Election Day, and will respond to issues as they arise.
