(WXMI) — It’s here, West Michigan. Early voting for the November general election begins today and continues until the Sunday before Election Day.

This is the third time early voting will be available after the 2024 presidential primary and the August 2024 primary. This is possible because Michigan voters approved a number of voting changes in 2022 with Proposition 2 — one of which is early voting in person.

Under this change, voters can vote before Election Day, November 5, in an experience similar to voting on Election Day. Voters are issued ballot papers, which they can enter directly into the tabulators at the early voting places.

Anyone registered in Michigan to vote has the right to vote in person at an early voting site.

Voters can search for their assigned early voting site or sites up to 60 days before the election on the state’s website. voter information website.

Hours vary by location, but early voting must be offered for at least nine consecutive days, beginning on the second Saturday before the election and ending on the Sunday before the election, for eight hours a day.

That means in-person early voting will take place between October 26 and November 3.
