Michigan’s Voter Information Center, who in Michigan can register to
vote and vote, and what to bring if you go in-person to register to vote
or vote at your city/township clerk’s office. You can vote even
if you are unhoused, have a past conviction, are on parole or
probation, or if you are in or out of jail waiting to be sentenced.
Now: You can request an absentee ballot, fill out or drop off your absentee ballot, and register to vote at your local election clerk’s office
. After October 21, Michigan’s Secretary of State recommends going
in-person rather than requesting your absentee ballot online or mailing
it back. This avoids possible postal delays.
