The official date for Michigan’s presidential primary election is Tuesday, Feb. 27, but there are plenty of opportunities to vote ahead of that day.
There are three options for voters:
- Mail-in absentee ballot. It may be applied for by contacting township, village or city clerks where voters live. Deadline for submission is 8 p.m. Feb. 27.
- In-person early voting, in which people can show up at their voting sites between Feb. 17 and Feb. 27. This is available as a result of approval statewide by voters in a ballot proposal in November 2022.
- Voting on election day Tuesday, Feb. 27.
Voters are reminded that they cannot split their ticket in a primary. They must vote in either the Democratic or Republican Party ballot.
