Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson reminds voters to learn more about their new rights ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 5, local election and to cast a ballot.
The changes include allowing all registered voters to vote by mail at their convenience and for citizens to register to vote up to and on Election Day at their local clerk’s office.
“Voting is how we demonstrate our power in society,” Benson said. “Last fall, Michigan voters used their power to make voting easier for everyone, by allowing all to vote early and by mail. I encourage all Michigan voters to take advantage of these new rights.”
Of Michigan’s 83 counties, 69 will hold elections Tuesday, Nov. 5. Citizens can find out if their community is holding an election by visiting Michigan.gov/Vote. Polls will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
For additional information, download the New Rights for Michigan Voters flyer at Michigan.gov/Elections.
To check registration status, visit the Michigan Voter Information Center at Michigan.gov/Vote. Residents can view a sample ballot and find their polling place. Citizens also can find information about how to use voting equipment and how to contact their local clerk.
