Register to Vote

Are you registered to vote? If not, you may register with a local city, township, or county clerk's office, in person at a local branch of the Secretary of State, or by mail. You can download an application from the Secretary of State's web page and mail it in; this application cannot be filled out online. Please note that if you register by mailing in the Michigan Voter Registration Application form you must vote in person at your assigned precinct the first time you vote and show identification. You must register to vote at least 30 days before the election in which you wish to vote.

Not sure if you're registered? Need to know where your polling location is? Secretary of State's Voter Information Center tells you all you need to know to get to the polls on time. You can even view your ballot and find out how to use your voting equipment.
