- Find Your Site: Look up your assigned early voting location at Michigan Early Voting Lookup.
- 📮 BEST PRACTICE — DROP BOX vs. MAIL: Do NOT mail your ballot close to Election Day. Hand-deliver your completed absentee ballot to your local clerk or drop it into an official secure ballot drop box by 8:00 PM on Election Day.
⚠️ VOTING WITHOUT A PHOTO ID: Michigan law does NOT strictly require a photo ID to vote. If you forgot it, demand an Affidavit of Voter Not Possessing Photo Identification from the election worker. Once signed, your vote will be counted normally.
🗳️ Provisional Ballots: Know Your Rights
When to Request One: If your name isn't on the roll, request a Provisional Ballot. Never leave a polling place without voting.
Cure Period: You have 6 days after Election Day to verify your registration/address with your city clerk to tabulate your ballot.
Why It's Critical: In tight primary races, provisional ballots cured within the 6-day window can decide the final winner.
