From:  Michigan Secretary of State

"A statewide primary election in advance of the Nov. 6 election will be held on Aug. 7. 
People who aren't registered to vote have until Monday, July 9 to register at any Secretary of State office, or at their county or local clerk's office.  
Check your registration status at the Michigan Voter Information Center at www.Michigan.gov/vote.
You also can view your sample ballot as well as find your polling location and track your absentee ballot.  A list of primary candidates can be found online.


How you can get an absentee ballot

Voters who qualify may choose to cast an absentee ballot. As a registered voter, you may obtain an absentee ballot if you are:

  • Age 60 or older.
  • Physically unable to attend the polls without the assistance of another.
  • Expecting to be absent from the community in which you are registered for the entire time the polls will be open on Election Day.
  • In jail awaiting arraignment or trial.
  • Unable to attend the polls due to religious reasons.
  • Appointed to work as an election inspector in a precinct outside of your precinct of residence

Absentee ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day. That means that you should mail 5 business days prior to the Election or contact your local clerk to find out how you can drop it off.
