Upcoming Elections

Big changes start local.

From local taxes to school boards, elections shape our everyday lives.

Michigan's primary election for the 2026 midterms is happening on Tuesday, August 4th. But you don't have to wait until Election Day! You can vote early now by requesting an absentee ballot, or vote early in person during the 9 Days of Early Voting (Jul 25th–Aug 2nd).

Find your city's absentee ballot drop box locations, your local Early Voting site(s), and your Election Day polling place at: mi.gov/vote
