Voters can check registration, polling locations, absentee-ballot status, and sample ballots through the Michigan Voter Information Center as Michigan heads into a busy election season.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, with early voting beginning on October 24 and polls typically open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; absentee ballots are already being sent out and must be received by local clerks by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Voter registration can be completed online, by mail, at a Secretary of State office, self-service station, or a local clerk’s office, with in-person registration available up to Election Day.

All 13 U.S. House seats are on the ballot, including potentially competitive Districts 10 and 11.

The U.S. Senate seat is open, with Abdul El-Sayed challenging Mike Rogers; the Democratic candidate previously won a primary against Haley Stevens, while Rogers was unopposed in the GOP primary.

Voters may cast split-ticket ballots, choosing candidates from different parties for different races.
