Detroit! The time to vote in the Primary Election is here. Absentee ballots are now out to residents across the city. Early in-person voting will begin on July 26 and end on Aug. 3. There are eight early voting centers and and 24 drop boxes for absentee ballots across the city.

How it works:

You can vote in person at the Detroit City Clerk’s office or at an Early Voting Site.

You can vote using an absentee ballot at the Detroit City Clerk’s office located at 2 Woodward Ave. Suite #106 now until 4 p.m. on Aug. 4, the day before Election Day.

You can vote using an absentee ballot and drop it off at one of the drop box locations across the city.

You can vote in person at a Detroit Early Voting Site. When you vote at an Early Voting Site, your voting experience will be similar to that of voting at a polling place on Election Day. You will complete your ballot, place it in a secrecy sleeve, and then deposit it into the voting tabulator. These sites will be available from July 26 through Aug. 3 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
