Questions or problems at the polls?

Election Protection is a nonpartisan coalition of 150 organizations dedicated to making sure everyone can exercise their right to vote. If you have a problem at the polls on Election Day, or if you just need to find your polling place or have a question, you can call 1-866-OUR-VOTE, or download their smart phone app.

Can I vote if I do not have any identification with me?

A new Michigan law requires every registered voter present in person to show photo ID or sign an affidavit attesting that he or she is not in possession of a photo ID. Voters who apply for an absentee ballot are not required to comply with this requirement.

Voters who do not possess either document may show any of the following forms of photo ID, so long as they are current:

  • Driver’s license or personal identification card issued by another state.
  • Federal or state government-issued photo identification.
  • U.S. passport.
  • Military identification card with photo.
  • Student identification card with photo – from a high school or an accredited institution of higher education.
  • Tribal identification card with photo.

Have additional questions?

If you can’t find an answer online or with the apps provided, your best bet is to call 1-866-OUR-VOTE or your state election official.
