Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey is hosting the “Block Party for Democracy” Saturday to mark the opening of Detroit’s early vote centers for the August primary election.
Early vote centers are open Saturday, July 26 through Sunday, Aug. 3, from 9am-5pm. After the primary, the voting centers will reopen for the Nov. 4 general election on Saturday, Oct. 25 through Sunday, Nov. 2, from 9am-5pm.
DJs, food trucks and family friendly activities can be found at the event in between Second and Third at 2978 W. Grand Blvd. on Saturday, July 26 from 9am to 5pm. There are also plans for adoptable dogs from the Michigan Humane Society.
“We’re excited about this block party and the launch of our Early Vote Centers,” Winfrey said. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate civic pride, enjoy the vibrant spirit of summer in Detroit, and most importantly — ensure voters knows their voice matters when it comes to shaping the leadership and future of our city.”
Early voting is available on site.
Early voting makes it easier for residents to vote on their schedule. At one of the many locations, you can register to vote or drop off your absentee ballot. For more information on early voting locations and times, visit detroitmi.gov/elections.
You can vote with an absentee ballot at the Detroit City Clerk’s office located at 2 Woodward Ave #200 Detroit, starting 40 days before Election Day until 4pm the Monday before Election Day.
For the August 5 Primary Election, voters have been voting early in person with an absentee ballot at the Detroit City Clerk’s office since June 26. If you are registered to vote at your current address, you can vote at the Clerk’s office until August 4 at 4pm.
For the Nov. 4 General Election, you can vote early in person with an absentee ballot at the Detroit City Clerk’s office starting on Sept. 25. Registered voters can vote at the Clerk’s office until Nov. 3 at 4pm.
You can vote in person at a Detroit Early Voting Site. When you vote at an Early Voting Site, your voting experience will be similar to that of voting at a polling place on Election Day. You will complete your ballot, place it in a secrecy sleeve, and then deposit it into the voting tabulator.
