Find your early voting location in Northern Michigan
NORTHERN MICHIGAN — For the first time, Michiganders will be able to vote early in the upcoming presidential primary election.
Early voting is taking place nine days before Election Day, from Saturday, Feb. 17 through Sunday, Feb. 25 throughout the state.
County clerks have been working hard to put together the extra voting days.
"It's been a ton of work and we are still working to get some of our equipment secured," said Charlevoix County Clerk Julia Drost. "At least we have a centralized location so it's not putting all of that on each individual township and city."
