Register to vote by mail
If you’re registering to vote by mail, you’ll need your Michigan driver’s license number or your Michigan ID number and the last four digits of your Social Security Number.
If you don’t have any of those, you can check the box that says “I don’t have a valid Michigan-issued driver’s license or Michigan-issued state ID card, or a Social Security number.” You will need to include a copy of a current and valid photo ID, paycheck stub, utility bill, bank statement, or government document that lists your name and address.
The registration application must be postmarked as sent at least 15 days before Election Day.
Proof of residency
The following items can be used as proof of residency:
- Michigan driver’s license, state ID, or U.S. Passport
- A utility bill
- Insurance documents (health, car, home, etc.)
- A bank or credit card statement
- Financial aid or school enrollment documents
- A lease agreement
- A paycheck or other government check
- Other government document
The clerk will not accept a package, parcel, or magazine received by mail, a business card, or a club or membership card as proof of residency.
How to update Michigan voter registration
If you have moved to a new address within Michigan, recently moved to Michigan, or changed your legal name you’ll need to update your voter registration.
To update your registration, you’ll need to “re-register” using the updated information. You can do that using one of the three methods listed above.
When a registered voter updates their voter registration address, the voter’s Michigan driver’s license or Michigan state ID address is also updated. Similarly, when a registered voter updates their Michigan driver’s license or Michigan state ID address, their voter registration address will also be updated.
