The Michigan general election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2025. Here are essential details for voters preparing for this important day.
Voting Time and Locations
Polls in Michigan will operate from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. In-person voting will be accessible across all jurisdictions, ensuring that every voter has the opportunity to participate.
Finding Your Polling Place
To identify where to vote, visit the Michigan Voter Information Center. This resource also provides information on voter registration status and the location of local clerk offices.
Voter Registration Information
Voters can register up to 8 p.m. on Election Day at their local city or township clerk’s office. If you have moved within 60 days of the election, you may vote at your previous address unless you have registered at your new address by the close of registration.
Identification Requirements
Voters will be asked to present identification when checking in at the polls. However, a photo ID is not mandatory to vote. If you do not have an ID, a poll worker will provide a form for you to sign, allowing your ballot to be counted. Acceptable forms of ID include:
- Michigan driver’s license or state ID (expired IDs are accepted)
- Driver’s license or state ID from another state
- Federal, state, or local government-issued photo ID
- U.S. passport
- Military photo ID
- Photo ID from an educational institution
- Tribal photo ID
Election-Related Clothing
Michigan prohibits wearing election-related clothing or items at polling locations. This includes buttons, pamphlets, and stickers. Voters will need to cover or remove such items upon arrival at the polls.
Absentee Ballots and Voting Information
Completed absentee ballots must be received by local clerks by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Voters can hand-deliver their ballots or use designated drop boxes located at clerk’s offices.
Ballot Tracking
Registered voters can track their absentee ballots through the “Vote at Home” section of the Michigan Voter Information Center to confirm if their ballot has arrived.
Emergency Situations on Election Day
If an emergency arises on Election Day, voters may request an emergency absent voter ballot. This request must be made by 4 p.m. on Election Day and should explain why a regular absentee ballot could not be requested in time.
Changing Your Vote
Voters who have submitted an absentee ballot but wish to change their vote can do so by submitting a written request to their local clerk. This request must be received by 5 p.m. on the second Friday before the election if the initial ballot has already been returned.
Getting Election Results
Election results will be available after polls close. Voters can track the outcomes through the Michigan Voter Information Center.
Ensure you have all necessary information and preparation ahead of Michigan’s 2025 General Election to make your voting experience smooth and informed.
