REGISTER TO VOTE:
Voter Registration Application
To register to vote, you must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old by Election Day, a resident of Michigan, and a resident of the city or Township where you are applying to register to vote.
If you are not currently registered to vote or require a change of address, you may do so:
- In person at the City Clerk's office, 2800 Third Street, Trenton MI 48183, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
- Secretary of State branch offices
- By sending your voter registration application by mail. Note: If you have never voted in Michigan and choose to register to vote by mail, the Michigan requirement states that you must vote in person in the first election in which you wish to participate. This requirement does NOT apply if: you personally hand deliver the form to the Clerk's office instead of mailing it, are 60 years of age or older, are disabled, or are eligible to vote under the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. To comply with the federal requirement, you must accurately enter your state issued driver license number or personal ID card number where requested on the form, OR send a copy of your current, valid photo identification or a copy of your paycheck stub, utility bill, bank statement, or a government document which lists your name and address.
