MI 2024 Primary Election Voter Guide: Everything You Need To Know

MICHIGAN — Michigan voters will head to the polls to determine the state's primary elections in less than two weeks.

The Primary Election is set to take place on Tuesday, Aug. 6, though early voting starts Saturday across Michigan. Under Michigan law, online and mail registration is not permitted within 14 days of an election.

Anyone who wants to vote absentee should hand-deliver their ballot to their local clerk’s office or secure ballot drop box to avoid postal delays.

All registered voters can track their ballot by looking up their information in the voter information section of this website.

Anyone who still needs to vote must do so in person at their local clerk's office.

Michigan voters do not need to register by party, but state law requires voters to cast votes for only one party’s candidates in the Primary Election. Votes for candidates in multiple parties on the same ballot will not be counted.
