If you still need to register (or update your registration) and vote, make a plan to do it this weekend! All city and township clerks’ offices must be open for at least eight hours this weekend for voter registration and in-person absentee voting.  

 At this point, the only way to register to vote in the August 4 Primary is in person at your city or township clerk’s office or satellite office with proof of residency (like a driver’s license, utility bill or paycheck). After you register, you can apply for, complete, and submit an absentee ballot in your clerk’s office. 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.” 

 Early voting for the August 4 Primary Election will take place from now 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.” 

 If you have any questions about voting 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.
