Michigan Voter Guide: Everything you need to know ahead of the 2026 election

The guide covers registration, absentee ballot deadlines and early voting rules as Michigan prepares for its Aug. 4 primary and Nov. 3 general election.

  • Michigan's general election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with state law requiring early in-person voting for at least nine consecutive days beginning October 24 and ending November 1.
  • Michigan voters approved changes through Proposal 2 in 2022 that allow people to vote absentee for any reason, expanding access beyond traditional mail-in voting and establishing the early voting framework now in effect.
  • Mail or online absentee ballot requests must be received by 5 p.m. the Friday before the election, while in-person requests at a clerk's office are accepted until 4 p.m. the day prior; voters cannot request ballots until 75 days before the election.
  • Citizens may register to vote or update their address up until 8 p.m. on Election Day at their city or township clerk's office, and those who spoil an absentee ballot must submit a written request by 4 p.m. the Monday prior.
  • Polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, and voters must present identification to cast a ballot; those without valid ID may still vote by signing an affidavit confirming their identity.
