Unless you are serving in the military or living overseas, your ballot must be received by your local clerk by 8 p.m. on Election Day (November 5) to count. We no longer recommend returning your ballot by mail. At this point, you should:

 Drop your ballot off at your local clerk’s office or satellite office or in a secure drop box in your city or township. You can find your clerk’s office(s), satellite office(s), and drop box(es) by visiting MI.gov/vote and clicking on “Your voter information.” You can also have an immediate family member (including a father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandparent, or grandchild) or a person from your household drop it off for you.

 If you are unable to drop your ballot off or have an eligible person drop it off for you, you can ask your city or township clerk to pick up your completed ballot. You can use this option as long as your ballot is in the city or township where you are registered to vote and you contact your clerk by 5 p.m. on Friday, November 1. To find the phone number for your city or township clerk, visit MI.gov/vote and click on “Where are my clerk’s offices?

 Bring your completed ballot to your early voting site or (if you live anywhere other than Detroit) to your polling place on Election Day and feed it into a tabulator. Just tell the poll workers you’d like to do this when you check in. You can find your early voting site(s) and Election Day polling place by visiting MI.gov/vote and clicking on “Your voter information.” 

 PS: If you still need to register to vote or update your registration, you must do so in person at your city or township clerk’s office with proof of residency. For more details, visit MichiganVoting.org/register-to-vote

Your ballot must be received by 8 pm on November 5 to count
