There are new methods to vote this cycle and clerks will have an easier time counting mail-in ballots. But some concerns about running the state's election systems remain.

The Great Lakes State’s 15 electoral votes are up for grabs in the fall, after Democrats and Republicans traded wins there in 2020 and 2016.

The most important date is election day, which happens on Nov. 5 this year. But thanks to Michigan's expanded voter opportunities, residents don't have to wait that long to cast a ballot.

With election day less than two months away, it's time to make a plan for how you'll cast your vote. Michigan voters can cast a ballot ahead of time in person, absentee through the mail, or in person on election day.
