Early voting for the August 4 Primary Election will take place at early voting sites. Those sites must be open from Saturday, July 25, through Sunday, August 2, for at least eight hours a day. Your early voting site will likely be in a different location and have different hours than your Election Day polling place. To find your early voting site(s) and the hours, 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.

If you have any questions about early voting (or voting in general) or need to report an issue, call the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline at (866) OUR-VOTE | (866) 687-8683 or one of the hotlines available in a language other than English for assistance. Promote the Vote Fund is monitoring all Michigan calls to the hotline now through Election Day, and will respond to issues as they arise.
