Voter ID: Under Michigan Law, voters are asked to show identification at the polls. If you do not have an ID, you can still vote. You will be asked to sign an affidavit stating that they're not in possession of a photo ID. Your vote will be counted with all others on Election Day.

The following types of photo ID are acceptable:

  • Michigan driver's license or state-issued ID card
  • Driver's license or personal identification card issued by another state
  • Federal or state government-issued photo identification
  • U.S. passport
  • Military ID with photo
  • Student identification with photo from a high school or accredited institution of higher learning
  • Tribal identification card with photo

The ID does not need to include your address.

Ride To The Polls: Several services including Lyft and Uber will offer discounted or free rides to the polls for voters on Election Day. We will share their Election Day offer codes here when they release them to the public.

The Detroit Bus Company is also providing "Vote Bus" service to get voters to the polls in areas of Detroit with traditionally low voter turnout. Call 313-626-0066 to arrange a ride.

Additionally, trip planning tools from SMART and DDOT may assist you in finding a reliable ride to your voting precinct.

Voting Is Your Right: Remember, you have a right to vote. Don't let anyone intimidate you into not voting.
