    A guide to voter ID at the polls

  • This dashboard displays data from the Michigan Department of State’s Qualified Voter File (QVF). The QVF is the secure list of voters used by the Michigan Bureau of Elections and more than 1,500 election clerks throughout the state in the administration of elections.

    Early and absentee voting data is updated daily in the dashboard starting 45 days before an upcoming election. A ballot cast by an in-person early voter is updated in the QVF via the Early Voting e-Pollbook at the time the ballot is cast. Absentee ballot data is updated in the QVF by local clerks.

    Voter registration data is updated daily in the dashboard, based on changes to the data (e.g., whenever a new voter registers, a voter updates their registration information – such as an address, or a voter's registration is cancelled).

    Because the QVF is live and changes in real time, metrics may change retroactively when local clerks review, upload, or correct records or when a voter moves residences.

    This dashboard has aggregated totals only. Data values which total 10 or less are displayed as "less than 10" to protect voter privacy. Specific voter details available through the Freedom of Information Act must be requested through the listed methods on the Transparency and Freedom of Information Act page.

  • Michigan's election system is among the strongest and most secure in the nation.

    • Michigan has upgraded voting technology, including next-generation optical scan machines, which use paper ballots scanned through electronic tabulators.
    • Michigan is a member of the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), which is a system to help states keep their voter rolls accurate when voters move across states, change addresses, or pass away.
    • Michigan improved voter registration systems, including automatic voter registration for citizens when applying for a driver’s license or state ID, and improvements to online voter registration.
