If you’ve never voted before, or if you’ve relocated and are voting in a new state, you can register here. We’re working with Vote.org to make this as easy as possible for you, so don’t fuck it up.

Registered before? Double-check your registration to make sure your registration is still valid.

Yes! But why wait? Do it now. Do it do it do it dooo itdoitdoitdoit.

No excuse is needed to request an absentee ballot, and voters can request an absentee ballot online or by mail. Requests must be received by 5PM on October 30th, but we recommend requesting it as early as possible.

Different states have different request rules, so use this tool to get your request form (even if you don’t have a printer!)

You’ve probably heard that USPS will be handling a high volume of mail and will likely be experiencing delays. That’s why we recommend mailing your ballot by October 20th at the latest if you plan on sending your ballot through USPS. When filling out your ballot, double-check the instructions to make sure you fill out the ballot correctly. Check if your ballot requires using a pen with black or blue ink, a signature on the envelope, any witness requirements and postage, if necessary. Learn about alternative return options below.

Previously, Michigan law required that ballots must be received by 8:00 PM on Election Day.

A judge recently ruled that ballots postmarked by November 2nd (that's right, the day BEFORE the Election) must be counted if they are received within 14 days after the election.

But don't wait! Return your ballot as early as possible.

You can return your absentee ballot to your local clerk's office, or to one of the 700 ballot drop boxes. You must drop your ballot off only in the drop boxes in your jurisdiction. Find the drop box locations here:

Yes, Michigan allows voters to track their ballots online. Track your ballot here:

If a voter has not returned his or her ballot, the voter can surrender the ballot or sign a statement stating that the ballot was lost or destroyed and vote at the polls. There is no option on Election Day to spoil an absentee ballot that has been received by the clerk. Do not vote in person and mail a ballot.

If you’ve requested your ballot, but you still haven’t received it at least 14 days before the election, check the status of your ballot online. If your ballot arrives before Election Day, you can drop it off in-person at your local clerk’s office, or at a drop-box location. Anyone who has requested — but not received — their absentee ballot may go vote in person on Election Day. You'll need to sign an affidavit confirming you never received an absentee ballot.

Michigan does not provide in-person early voting at polling places, but does allow absentee in-person voting. You can also go in person to the office of your municipal and township clerks and request an absentee ballot until 4 p.m. on the day before the election. Find the locations here:

If you are voting on Election Day, wear a mask and keep an appropriate social distance from fellow voters. If you are in line before polls close, do not leave. You legally must be permitted to vote. If you witness any incidents of voter suppression, contact 1-833-DEM-VOTE (1-833-336-8683). Find your polling place options here:

Yes, yes you do. A current driver's license, or state/federal government ID, a U.S. passport, a military ID, a student ID card, a tribal ID all work. But if you don’t bring or have an acceptable ID, you can still vote by signing an affidavit on Election Day. Check for updates and learn more about your state's voter ID laws here:

As we get closer to in-person early voting, our Make a Plan tool will have up-to-date information from every state on your voting locations (and ballot drop locations).
