Deadline to register to vote in August Primary is today

LANSING, MI— Monday, July 22 is the last day for Michigan citizens to register online or by mail to vote in the state’s August 6 Primary Election.

Eligible residents can register to vote online at www.michigan.gov/Vote or by mailing, or scanning and emailing, a completed application to their local clerk by Monday. Applications are available online or at clerk’s offices.

To be eligible to register to vote in Michigan, an individual must be a Michigan resident, a United States citizen, 18 years of age by Election Day, and not currently serving a sentence in jail or prison.

Voters who already have their absentee ballot are encouraged to mail it today to avoid postal delays, or hand-deliver the ballot to their clerk’s office or secure ballot drop box.

All ballots must be received by clerks by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.
