Early voting starts June 26—make your plan now!

At Voting Access for All Coalition (VAAC), we believe in breaking down barriers to the ballot and making sure every eligible voter knows their rights. The August 5, 2025 Primary Election is coming up fast, and you don’t have to wait until Election Day to cast your vote.

Starting Thursday, June 26, you can vote early in person with an absentee ballot at your local clerk’s office. If you prefer to vote by mail, we encourage you to request your absentee ballot today to ensure enough time for delivery and return.

Some communities—including Detroit, Pontiac, Southfield, and Novi—will also offer in-person early voting at designated sites starting in late July.
