Voters can vote early in this election beginning Saturday, July 27, through Sunday, Aug. 4, in Studio A at the  Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave. 

Early voting will be available each day between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Registered voters can pick up or request that a ballot be mailed to their home by submitting an Absentee Ballot Application through Monday, Aug. 5, at 4 p.m. at the Dearborn Administrative Center, 16901 Michigan Ave.

The Absentee Ballot Application is also available in Arabic.

All completed ballots must be signed and received by the Dearborn City Clerk’s Office or at one of five official City of Dearborn ballot drop boxes by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6. 

Secure and surveilled ballot drop boxes are located throughout the city at the following locations:

Voting at polling places on Election Day

Dearborn voters who have not cast a ballot during early voting or with an absentee ballot can vote in person at their designated polling place between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Election Day. 

Visit Michigan.gov/Vote to confirm where to vote on Tuesday, Aug. 6. 

Voters who are in line to vote at their polling place at 8 p.m. on Election Day are reminded to stay in line to vote, as they have the right to cast a ballot if they are already in line to vote when polling places close.
