Each polling location will have at least one voting station adapted to allow a person to vote while seated. In addition, all voters, including voters with disabilities, have access to a Voter Assist Terminal in all polling places. The Voter Assist Terminal helps the voter mark a ballot. It will mark the ballot with the voter’s choices but does not tally the votes. Once the ballot is marked, it is counted in exactly the same fashion as all other ballots.

You can check your registration at the Michigan Voter Information Center here. If you’re not registered, you can register to vote through Election Day. Citizens who are not yet registered to vote but who wish to register and vote in the August 8th election may do so at the office of their city or township clerk until 8 p.m. on Election Day. You can find your clerk’s information at michigan.gov/Vote.

Proof of residency must be provided if registering within two weeks of an election. Acceptable documents include a driver’s license, state ID card, current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check or other government document. Documents must have name and current address. Digital copies are acceptable.

The Secretary of State is encouraging voters who already have an absentee ballot at home to fill it out and sign the back of the envelope. Voters should deliver it to their city or township clerk’s secure ballot drop box if they have one, or to the clerk’s office if possible, to avoid any U.S. Postal Service delays.

If you still have your absentee ballot and decide that you want to vote in person, you may do so by surrendering the ballot at your polling place. If you lost your absentee ballot or if it was destroyed, you may sign a statement affirming this and vote at the polls.
