Detroit voters who have not yet registered can complete the process at the Detroit City Clerk’s Office, located at 2 Woodward Ave., Suite 200. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with special weekend hours the week before the election.

Check Your Registration Status

Before heading to the clerk’s office, verify whether you are already registered by visiting the Michigan Voter Information Center at mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index. Enter your personal details and the system will confirm your status.

Eligibility and Required Documents

To register, you must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old on Election Day, and a resident of Detroit. Bring a printed record proving your residence, such as a utility bill, lease agreement, or government correspondence.

Early‑Voting Options

Detroit offers early voting beginning nine days before Election Day. You may vote in person at the City Clerk’s office or at any designated Early Voting Site. The process mirrors voting on Election Day: you will fill out your ballot, place it in a secrecy sleeve, and deposit it into the voting tabulator.

Voting on Election Day

On Election Day, you must vote at the polling place assigned to you. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. If you are in line by 8 p.m., you will be allowed to cast your ballot. Find your polling location online via the Michigan Voter Information Center or by calling the Detroit City Clerk at (313) 224‑3270. Your assigned precinct is typically near the address you used when you registered, though it may change from year to year, so verify before you go.

Drop Boxes and Additional Resources

Some neighborhoods have drop‑box locations at municipal buildings, parks, or campus sites. Check the addresses provided by the City Clerk to ensure you use the correct location.

If you encounter misinformation about voting procedures, you can report it to the state by emailing [email protected]. For more guidance on being an informed voter, consult the City Clerk’s website and local community resources.
