Elections to be held in 73 counties on Nov. 7

Jurisdictions in 73 Michigan counties will hold elections on Nov. 7. Check this by county list to see if your community is one of them.

  • Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
  • Check your registration status at the Michigan Voter Information Center at Michigan.gov/Vote.
  • In-person voting will be available in every jurisdiction on Nov. 7 for voters who choose to do so.
  • The Secretary of State encourages voters who already have an absentee ballot at home to fill it out and sign the back of the envelope. Voters should deliver it to their city or township clerk's secure ballot drop box or to the clerk's office, if possible, to avoid any U.S. Postal Service delays.
  • All city and township clerks are offering office hours this weekend, Nov. 4 and/or 5. Visit Michigan.gov/Vote to find your clerk's location and hours.

Early voting

Several jurisdictions are piloting early voting this election and are providing polling place hours today and this weekend. Check this list to see if your community is included and to find the location, which may differ from your normal voting site. Beginning in 2024, in all statewide and federal elections, every voter in Michigan will have the option of early voting, which is similar to voting on Election Day.

Learn more about this new voting convenience that voters passed as a constitutional amendment in last November's election at Michigan.gov/EarlyVoting.

You have until 8 p.m. on Election Day to complete your absentee ballot and return it to the clerk's office or drop box. Your ballot will not be counted unless your signature is on the outside of the return envelope and matches your signature on file.

If you're already registered at your current address, you can request an absent voter ballot in person at your clerk's office anytime up to 4 p.m. on the day prior to the election (Nov. 6).
