How to register to vote in Michigan
If you plan on voting in the Nov. 5, 2024 presidential election and you are not yet registered to vote, you will need to do so in person. That’s because when it’s within 14 days of an election, voters must register to vote in person at their clerk’s office or satellite office.
Michigan residents can register to vote in person at their local clerk’s office until 8 p.m. on Election Day. You will need to provide proof of residency and be asked for photo ID. If you do not have photo ID, or forgot to bring one, you can sign an affidavit and still register to vote.
---> Here’s how to find your local clerk’s office.
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.
