To register to vote in Michigan, an individual must:

• Be a Michigan resident

• Be a United States citizen

• Be at least 16 years of age (and 18 by Election Day)

• Not be currently serving a sentence in jail or prison

 

Michigan voters are encouraged to register as early as possible before an election.

 

Methods and requirements for voter registration depend on the following deadlines:

• If there are 15+ days before an election, voters can register online, by mail, or in person.

• Within 14 days of an election, and on Election Day, voters may only register by visiting their local clerk’s office to register in person with proof of residency documentation.
