Ann Arbor voters will have six early voting locations ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 3, general election. Two of them open three days before the city’s other sites.

The University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) and the Duderstadt Center begin accepting ballots Wednesday, Oct. 21, according to the city clerk's early voting page. The city's four other sites open Saturday, Oct. 24, the same day the county-coordinated early voting window begins.

The distinction matters. Ann Arbor is not part of the Washtenaw County-coordinated early voting plan that covers 23 other cities and townships, according to a county press release. The city runs its own system with different hours and locations.

Where Ann Arbor voters can go

All six city sites are open to any voter registered in Ann Arbor, regardless of precinct:

  • City Hall — 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Traverwood Library Branch — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Malletts Creek Library Branch — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Westgate Library Branch — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • UMMA — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (opens Oct. 21)
  • Duderstadt Center — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (opens Oct. 21)

Five of the six locations stay open until 7 p.m., giving voters who work daytime hours an evening option. Early voting at all sites runs through Sunday, Nov. 1.

County-coordinated sites near Ann Arbor

Voters registered outside Ann Arbor but in one of the 23 county-coordinated jurisdictions have two options: a regional site and a central site.

Two county-coordinated options near Ann Arbor are:

  • Scio Township Hall, 827 N. Zeeb Road — serving the city of Dexter and Ann Arbor, Scio, Northfield, Webster and Dexter townships
  • Washtenaw County Learning Resource Center, 4135 Washtenaw Ave. — the central site open to all 23 participating jurisdictions

All county-coordinated sites are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 24, through Sunday, Nov. 1.

County Clerk Larry Kestenbaum's office said in a statement that early voting is meant to give residents more scheduling flexibility.

What's on the ballot

The Nov. 3 ballot includes races for governor, U.S. senator, U.S. representative, state senator and state representative. Voters can find their sample ballot through the city’s elections page.

Two statewide proposals also appear: Proposal 2026-01, on whether to hold a constitutional convention, and Proposal 2026-02, on campaign finance restrictions for regulated utilities and government contractors and expanded regulation of political communications.

Key deadlines

The last day to register to vote by mail or online is Monday, Oct. 19. After that, voters can still register in person at their local clerk's office with proof of residency through 8 p.m. on Election Day, according to Michigan’s registration guidance.

Voters who prefer to skip early voting can cast absentee ballots or vote at their assigned polling place on Election Day, when polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Ann Arbor voters with questions can contact the city clerk's office at [email protected].
