Get Ready to Vote in Michigan’s August 5 Election
Special local primary elections will be held in select Michigan locations on Tuesday, August 5.
There is still time to register! Every eligible voter should check their Voter Registration Status to ensure their address is up to date and that they are still registered. To be eligible to vote, you must be 18, a U.S. citizen, and a resident of the state in which you register. Some other criteria may apply by state.
Check your Michigan voter registration status!
Not Registered yet? Register to vote in Michigan!
In Michigan, the deadline to register online or by mail is July 21. After this date, new voters must register in person at their local clerk’s office.
Early Voting: Communities may also choose to provide early voting for local elections. Check to see if your community is offering early voting this August.
Absentee Voting: Absentee ballots are available for Michigan voters starting June 26! If you are registered to vote in Michigan, you can request your ballot by completing the online application. To ensure there is enough time to receive and return an absentee ballot, plan on submitting the absentee ballot application online at least 15 days before Election Day.
Absentee ballot envelopes contain a ballot, a secrecy sleeve, and ballot marking instructions. You should complete the absentee ballot by carefully following the written instructions included with the ballot. Absentee ballots must be received by your local clerk by 8 p.m. on Election Day with the exception of military and overseas ballots. You have several options for returning an absentee ballot in Michigan, including mailing your completed and signed absentee ballot to your local clerk’s office using the provided pre-paid envelope.
RSO Registration for K-Day
Attention all Registered Student Organizations! It’s time to break out your creativity and rally your team—K-Day is just around the corner, and this year we’re going on a campus-wide search for our favorite elusive husky: Blizzard!
What’s K-Day, you ask? It’s Keweenaw Day, MTU’s annual celebration of student involvement—and it’s one event you won’t want to miss. Picture this: a lively lakeside park packed with excited students, amazing food, music in the air, and a ton of interactive activities. With 3,500–4,000 students in attendance each year, K-Day is the ultimate chance for your organization to shine and connect with potential new members.
Registration is open now, so don’t miss your chance to secure your spot at this epic event. Make sure to have your organization’s activity finalized before registering, as space is limited, and you won’t want to miss out. We already have 107 RSOs signed up and only 200 spaces available! And remember, the primary contact listed during registration will be the point person for all communications, so keep an eye on your inbox throughout the summer for any updates or changes.
Reach out to the Student Leadership and Involvement (SLI) team at rso@mtu.edu or call 906-487-1963. We’re here to help make K-Day 2025 unforgettable!
So gather your crew, get creative, and be part of the fun at K-Day 2025: Where’s Blizzard? We can’t wait to see you there—Blizzard might be hiding, but your org should definitely stand out!
