Dear Delegates,

As we prepare for the November 3, 2026 General Election, I wanted to share several important voter resources that are now available on the Michigan Republican Party website.

MIGOP has created a central page where voters can access county-specific voter guides and local election information. These guides are especially helpful for the local and nonpartisan races that can sometimes be difficult for voters to research.

COUNTY VOTER GUIDES ARE NOW AVAILABLE

A Note About Local and Nonpartisan Races: We asked the County Chairs to provide information and recommendations for local and nonpartisan races. This would include city council, school board, judicial, and local ballot proposals and millages. Many counties provided this information, while some did not. In some cases, this may be because a race is uncontested, involves an incumbent, or there may be other local considerations.

If your county voter guide lists only the statewide races or does not include guidance on certain local or nonpartisan contests, we encourage delegates to check directly with their respective County Chair for any additional information or guidance regarding candidates and local ballot proposals. You can obtain your respective county chair's details here: County Chairs.

If any of you have voter guides from local republican clubs or other organizations focusing on local races promoting republican candidates, please share them with me so we can put them under the respective counties.

Please share this page (Voter Guides) with voters in your county and district. Promote it on your social media. Be an influencer in your area and for your friends and family looking for guidance.

Additional counties are being added everyday.

STATEWIDE & DISTRICT CANDIDATE INFORMATION

MIGOP also has a searchable directory of Republican candidates appearing on Michigan's November 3 General Election ballot, including statewide, federal, state legislative, university board, State Board of Education, and judicial candidates.

The November election will include races at every level of government, and our local races are particularly important. Please help circulate the voter guides and election information throughout your county, district, and networks so voters know where to find the information they need before casting their ballots.

Thank you for everything you do.

Regards,

Where can I find the Early Voting locations and times?

• Early Voting locations and schedules vary by jurisdiction. Beginning in 2026, communities may choose to offer Early Voting on the Monday before Election Day. Voters should check their assigned Early Voting location and hours at Michigan.gov/Vote.

What time do the polls close on the Election Day?

Polls are open 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time.

Eligible voters may also register at their city or township clerk's office through 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.

I submitted my ballot. Can I change my vote?

If a voter has already cast a ballot by inserting it into a tabulator at an Early Voting site or Election Day polling location, that vote cannot be changed.

If a voter returned a completed absentee ballot to their city or township clerk by mail, drop box, or in person and later wishes to change their vote, the voter may request to spoil the returned absentee ballot and receive a new ballot, subject to the applicable deadline.

• If the absentee ballot has already been returned to the clerk: The voter must submit a written and signed request to their city or township clerk no later than 5 p.m. on the second Friday before Election Day. The voter may request that a new absentee ballot be mailed to them or may receive and vote a new ballot in person at the clerk's office.
• If the absentee ballot has not been returned: The voter may request that the ballot be spoiled and replaced. A request to have a replacement ballot mailed must be received by 5 p.m. on the Friday immediately before Election Day.
• In-person replacement: A voter with an unreturned absentee ballot may appear at their city or township clerk's office and spoil the ballot and vote a new absentee ballot in person until 4 p.m. on the Monday before Election Day.
• Voting in person instead: If the voter has not returned their absentee ballot, they may vote at an Early Voting site or at their Election Day polling place. They may surrender their absentee ballot or, if it was lost or destroyed, follow the required procedure for having the absentee ballot spoiled before voting in person.
• Important: Once a ballot has been inserted into a tabulator, it cannot be spoiled or changed.
