Michigan Voter Guide: Everything you need to know ahead of the 2026 election

  • On September 24, Michigan officials began distributing absentee ballots for the November 3, 2026, general election, with early in-person voting mandated for nine consecutive days from October 24 through November 1.
  • Michigan voters may request absentee ballots for any reason, with online and mail-in applications due by 5 p.m. the Friday before Election Day; voters needing to change a cast ballot can spoil it in person by 4 p.m. the Monday prior.
  • Residents may register to vote in any form up to 14 days before the election; within that window, voters may register and cast ballots in person at their city or township clerk's office with proof of residency.
  • Polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on November 3, 2026, with identification required to cast a ballot; voters without valid ID may still participate by signing an affidavit confirming their identity.
  • Beyond federal and state races, Michigan voters will face ballot measures involving potential constitutional changes and campaign finance restrictions, adding complexity to the 2026 general election and potentially influencing turnout patterns.
