RegistrationMichigan says voters may register online, by mail, or in person 15 or more days before Election Day. For the Nov. 3, 2026 election, the state page lists Oct. 19, 2026 as the last day to register by mail or online. From Oct. 20 through Nov. 3, 2026, new registrations must be done in person at a clerk’s office. On Election Day, eligible voters in line by 8 p.m. may still register in person.Official details ↗

Early votingFor statewide and federal elections, Michigan requires at least 9 straight days of early voting, ending on the Sunday before Election Day. For Nov. 3, 2026, the state lists the mandatory early voting period as Oct. 24-Nov. 1, 2026. The state also says communities may offer extra early voting days, and beginning in 2026 they may offer early voting on the Monday before Election Day.Official details ↗

Absentee or mailMichigan says an absentee ballot can be requested online until 5 p.m. on the Friday before Election Day, or in person at the clerk’s office until 4 p.m. on the Monday before Election Day. A completed absentee ballot must be received by the local clerk by 8 p.m. on Election Day to count. Eligible voters who are not registered at their current address may register and request an absentee ballot at the clerk’s office until 8 p.m. on Election Day if they are in line by then.Official details ↗

What may still change

As of 2026-09-03, the Michigan Secretary of State and Board of State Canvassers pages I found do not yet show a final, certified statewide ballot measure list for the November 3, 2026 general election. The official materials I found show one constitutional convention question that appears by operation of the Michigan Constitution and several initiative petitions that were still in the petition/sufficiency process, not certified items. I therefore cannot honestly list any certified statewide ballot measures yet.
I excluded local measures and any proposal that was only approved for circulation, pending sufficiency, or otherwise not shown as certified by the official state sources I could verify.
Because no certified statewide ballot measures were verified in the official sources available to me, the items array is empty. If you want, I can re-check after the Board of State Canvassers certifies the ballot contents.
I verified these dates on the Michigan Secretary of State website, but local clerks can add extra early-voting days and hours within state rules.
The state website says voters may bring a completed absentee ballot to an early voting site during the early voting period, but it also says this does not update ballot-tracking status online.
The state pages do not say every community has the same early-voting site locations or extra days; voters should check Michigan.gov/Vote or their local clerk for their own site.
I did not infer any deadline beyond the official state pages; the Nov. 3, 2026 dates may still be updated by the state if Michigan revises its calendar.
