To register to vote in Michigan you must be:

• A U.S. citizen
• A resident of Michigan
• Be at least 16 years of age (and 18 by Election Day to vote)
• Not serving a sentence in jail or prison

Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: 

In Michigan, you only lose your right to vote if you are currently incarcerated for a misdemeanor or felony conviction. If you lost your voting rights because of a conviction, you could register to vote immediately after release. Your voting rights are not restricted by pretrial detention, misdemeanors, probation, or parole. 

Voters without traditional residence: 

In Michigan, if you don’t have a permanent or fixed home, you can register to vote by providing a description of a street corner, park, shelter or any other place where you usually stay as your residence address. The mailing address can be a P.O. box, local shelter, advocacy organization, outreach center, or the home of someone who will accept mail for you.
