Dear Colleagues:
Election Day is Nov. 8, and we encourage you to check your voter registration status to ensure you are eligible to cast your ballot.
To vote in Michigan, you have until 15 days prior to Election Day to register online or by mail, or you also can register in person through Election Day. You can register online if you have a Michigan driver’s license or a state ID; if not, you must visit your local clerk’s office and bring proof of residency.
To assist with registering to vote in the City of Ann Arbor, the Ann Arbor City Clerk has opened satellite offices at the U-M Museum of Art on Central Campus and the Duderstadt Center Gallery on North Campus.
