Are you registered to vote in Michigan?

Michiganders who are planning to vote can check if they are registered online on the Michigan Voter Information Center page.

Residents can register online at least 14 days before the election. If registering within 14 days, voters can do so in person at their city or township clerk's office.

Where are you registered to vote in Michigan?

Your address listed on the voter registration will determine which precinct you must report to in order to vote. If needing to change an address within 14 days of the election, voters can go to their city or township clerk's office to do so.

Residents who moved to another city must re-register, whereas residents who moved within the city limits can update their address. Make sure your address on the registration card and your driver's match before going to vote.

Voters must register or update their address by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
