Michigan’s primary election is on August 2nd. and it’s a critical one, with many ballot proposals and state legislature elections on the ballot.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said, “Voters have options in Michigan and, however you cast your ballot, you can have confidence that every vote will be counted securely and your voice will be heard in your community.”
Voters may choose to use absentee ballots instead of voting in person on election day. The options for absentee voting include voting from home or voting early in person at a local clerk’s office.
Registering to vote can be done until July 18th online, or up until 8:00 p.m. on election day at the local clerk’s office.
Those who are already registered can vote from home by requesting an absentee ballot. The request should be made by July 18th to ensure getting it in time. The request can be made in person at their clerk’s office or online at Michigan.gov/vote.
Voters can be sure that their vote is being counted by checking the status of the ballot online or by contacting their clerk’s office.
Over 875,000 Michigan voters have already requested ballots.
In-person voting at polling places is from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on August 2nd.
