What is early voting?

In 2022, Michigan voters passed Proposal 2 — the “Promote the Vote” initiative — guaranteeing every resident nine consecutive days to vote in person before Election Day. It's safe, secure, and it fits your schedule.

  • /Nine consecutive days of flexible, in-person access.
  • /Same tabulator, same ballot, same result as Election Day.
  • /Vote at any early voting center in the City of Detroit.
