Early in-person voting
Michigan voters have the right to cast a ballot early and in person at an early voting site before Election Day.
Early voting will be available beginning with the presidential primary in 2024 and every statewide and federal election thereafter.
Check back for additional updates on early voting requirements and information.
In November 2022, Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that gives voters the right to vote early and in person at early voting sites before statewide and federal elections. Communities may also choose to provide early voting for local elections.
Early voting allows a voter to cast a ballot before Election Day, in an experience similar to voting on Election Day.
During the early voting period, voters are issued a ballot and can then insert their ballot directly into a tabulator at their early voting site.
Voters may vote at the Early Voting site listed for their jurisdiction for all statewide and federal elections. Please note that voters may only vote early at their site; not at any site of their choosing.
Note that your early voting site may be different that your precinct polling place on election day.

Both early in-person voting and absentee voting allow voters to cast a ballot prior to Election Day. However, there are key differences between the two methods of voting.
Early voting allows voters to cast a ballot similar to how they would do so at a polling place on Election Day. Voters are issued a ballot and can personally insert it into the tabulator at their early voting site.
Absentee voting allows voters to request a ballot by mail or in person at their local clerk’s office. Voters can complete their absentee ballot at home or at their local clerk’s office and submit it in an envelope by mail, in person, or by drop box. After an absentee ballot is received by the local clerk, the voter’s absentee ballot is processed and tabulated by their local clerk.
Absentee voters also have more flexibility to “spoil” their ballot, or change their vote, after it has been submitted.

Any registered voter in Michigan has the right to vote early in person at an early voting site for statewide and federal elections in which they are eligible.
Voters in Michigan can register to vote up to and on Election Day, including during the early voting period.
Learn more about voter registration.
The early voting period takes place for a minimum of nine consecutive days, ending on the Sunday before an election. Communities may decide to provide additional days of early voting, up to 29 days total.
Early voting sites must be open for at least eight hours each day during the early voting period.
Early voting is offered for all statewide and federal elections. Communities may also choose to provide early voting for local elections.
