Michigan Voters: It's not too late to register to vote and to vote with an absentee ballot

Do you know that there are people who don't want you to vote? Voter suppression efforts have been ramped up across the country. Michigan is a swing state and is getting special attention by those who are afraid you might cast your ballot for the wrong person or vote on some issue that goes against their wishes. That makes this election crucial.

This is from the Michigan Secretary of State's Office:

 

October 19, 2020, was the last day to register to vote online for the November 3, 2020, election.

 

“…If someone has not yet registered after this deadline has passed, they may still register in person at their city or township clerk’s office through Election Day with a document verifying their residency. They can also apply for and return an absent voter ballot [there] at the clerk’s office in the same trip.”

“Voters who are already registered can vote early at their clerk’s office now and through the day before the election. On Election Day, already registered voters must vote at their local polling place. Clerk and polling place information is available at Michigan.gov/Vote.”

"Voters who already have their ballots are encouraged to return them as soon as possible — by mail NO LATER than Oct.19, or by hand delivering to their clerk’s office or ballot drop box. Ballot drop box locations for individual jurisdictions can be found at Michigan.gov/Vote. All absentee ballot return envelopes must be signed by the voter to be counted."

"...After...Oct. 19,2020, the online registration portal at Michigan.gov/Vote will include several warnings that voters must register in person to vote by or on Nov. 3, with instructions on how to do so."
