2.       Look-up your polling place

Each voter has an assigned polling place they must visit to cast a ballot on Election Day. Find your designated polling place at Michigan.gov/Vote.

***If you are in line when polls close at 8pm, STAY IN LINE! You will be permitted to cast a ballot.

3.       Cast your ballot
