(CBS DETROIT) – For the 2024 presidential election, Michigan residents will have multiple ways to cast their votes, including early voting.
Early voting is the newest voting option in Michigan. In 2022, voters approved a constitutional amendment that gives Michigan residents the right to vote in person at early voting sites.
Here’s what you need to know about early voting:
When does early voting start and end in Michigan?
Early voting begins across Michigan on Oct. 26 and ends on Nov. 3. The early voting period is held for nine days, but communities can decide to hold additional early voting days, up to 29 days total.
In Detroit, early voting begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19. Fourteen early voting sites will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday until Nov. 5.
Where can Michigan mail-in ballots be dropped off early?
Voters are also able to vote early with absentee ballots. After requesting an absentee ballot, voters can submit it by mail, by drop box or in person at the local clerk’s office before Election Day.
