You can complete your voter registration and vote on Election Day at the Department of Elections (2978 W. Grand Blvd). Make sure you bring one type (paper or electronic copy) of “proof of residency” with you to the Department of Elections:

• Your Michigan driver’s license or state ID card
• A utility bill with your name and Detroit address on it
• A bank statement with your name and Detroit address on it
• A paycheck with your name and Detroit address on it
• A government check with your name and Detroit address on it
