Early voting will take place at early voting sites. Your early voting site will likely be different from your Election Day polling place. To find your early voting site(s), visit mi.gov/vote and click on “Where do I go to Early Vote.”

 Early voting sites in Canton, Detroit, and East Lansing are open now. Early voting sites statewide must be open starting Saturday, October 26. Early voting must end by Sunday, November 3. To find out when early voting will be offered in your community, visit mi.gov/vote and click on “Where do I go to Early Vote.”

 Voting at an early voting site will feel similar to voting at your polling place on Election Day. You will check in with the poll workers, receive your ballot, fill it out, and place it into a tabulator.
