Register to Vote

Your voice on the board starts with your ballot.

Michigan lets you register right up to Election Day — here's exactly what you need and when, so nothing catches you off guard.

01

Who can register

U.S. citizens, 18 by Election Day, who've lived at their Michigan address for at least 30 days.

02

What you'll need

A Michigan driver's license or state ID number, or the last 4 digits of your Social Security number.

03

Where it applies

Register with your current Dearborn address to make sure your ballot includes this school board race.
