Early Voting

​​​​​​​​Early voting is the opportunity for a voter to cast and count a ballot before Election Day. Early voting allows the voter to insert their completed ballot into a vote tabulator.​​ 

Note: this contrasts with voting early via an absentee ballot because absentee ballots are securely stored leading up to Election Day and then opened and counted on Election Day.

Where will early voting take place?

At “early voting sites." An early voting site will operate similarly to an election day polling location but will be set up to serve large numbers of voters, rather than a single precinct. 


Where are the early voting sites?

If you are registered in the City of Ann Arbor, you can early vote at any one of the following 6 locations:

  • City Hall, hours: 8am - 5pm

  • UMMA, hours: 11am - 7pm​ (February and November elections only)

  • Duderstadt Center, hours: 11am - 7pm (February and November elections only)


If you are registered in Washtenaw County, but not in the City of Ann Arbor, please go to the Washtenaw County Elections Office​ for information.​

If you are not registered in either the City of Ann Arbor or elsewhere in Washtenaw County, please contact your local official for early voting information.

​​

When will early voting take place?

Michigan's Constitution requires cities and townships to offer early voting in each statewide and federal election for at least 9 consecutive days, beginning on the second Saturday before the election and ending on the Sunday before the election. Early voting sites must be open for at least 8 hours each of those 9 days starting with the 2024 Presidential Primary Election. ​
