Communities across Michigan will hold elections on May 3. Up for a vote are municipal offices, local millages and four state House races to fill partial terms for vacant seats.

The special House elections include the 15th District in Wayne County, the 36th District in Macomb County, the 43rd District in Oakland County and the 74th District in Kent County.

Those elected at the May election will be in office until December 31, 2022. State House primary elections will be held in August and a general election will be held in November to select state House lawmakers to serve two-year terms in the new districts drawn by an independent redistricting commission.

To request an absentee ballot: Fill out an online application at Michigan.gov/Vote, mail in an application to your local clerk or visit your clerk's office.

To vote in person: Voters can also vote in-person on May 3. You can register at any time up to 8 p.m. on Election Day at your local clerk's office. If you are registering to vote by mail, it must be postmarked at least 15 days before the election.
