Hey future voter! If you're 16 or older you can now pre-register to vote. Learn more at MichiganVoting.org 

To find out if you are registered to vote where you currently live, visit mi.gov/vote and click on “Your voter information.” You can also call your city or township clerk’s office, and they can tell you if, and where, you are registered to vote.

If you need to register to vote or to update your registration, here’s how:

If it’s BEFORE October 19, there are many ways to register to vote in the November 3 General Election. You can register:
• In person at any Secretary of State branch office, your city, township, or county clerk’s office, any state agency that provides public assistance or services to people with disabilities, any Armed Forces recruitment office, or a voter-registration drive.
• Online at mi.gov/vote. Click on “Register to vote online.” (To register online, you must have a valid Michigan driver’s license or state ID.)
• By mail. You can print an application, complete it, and mail it in. Get an application online at mi.gov/vote. Click on “Voter forms and publications.”

Starting October 20 (until 8 p.m. on Election Day), you only have one way to register to vote: in person at your city or township clerk’s office with proof of residency.

Michigan now has pre-registration! Individuals between 16 and 17.5 years old, who otherwise meet the requirements for registering to vote, can pre-register using any voter registration method. Once the individual turns 17.5, their preregistration will automatically turn into a regular registration.

 Upcoming Key Dates for the November 3 Election:

Now: Request an absentee ballot online or submit a paper application. (If you want to vote from home, we recommend that you request your ballot no later than October 14 to give yourself enough time to receive your ballot, complete it, and return it to your city or township clerk by the deadline.)

September 15: National Voter Registration Day! (Encourage your friends and family to make sure their registrations are up to date and ready for the November 3 Election!)

September 24: First day that you can vote in person, with an absentee ballot, at your city or township clerk’s office.
