What time do polls close in Michigan? What to know about Election Day voting hours

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Millions of voters in Michigan have already cast ballots, either through absentee voting or early voting. But many more will head to the polls Tuesday to decide the presidential election, an open seat in the U.S. Senate and other races. If you're not registered to vote, you can still register to vote and cast your ballot before polls close Tuesday.

Here's what to know about the hours for Michigan polls, where to find your local polling place and more.

What time do polls open and close in Michigan?

Polls are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. local time in Michigan. If you are in line at 8 p.m., you are still permitted to vote.

Where can I find my local polling place?

You can find your polling precinct by visiting the Michigan Voter Information Center at michigan.gov/vote. There, you can enter your address and the site will provide your polling place.

On Election Day, in-person voting must take place at your assigned polling place. Bigger cities and townships typically have multiple polling locations, so make sure you arrive at the correct one.

You will be asked to provide a form of photo ID to vote. If you don't have an ID, you can still vote. You'll be asked to sign a form verifying your identity.

Here's a list of valid forms of photo ID, according to the Michigan Secretary of State's Office:

• Michigan driver's license or state ID (may be expired)
