Want to Vote in Dearborn? Make Sure You're Registered by Oct. 9

Here's all the information you need on how and where to register to vote in Dearborn.

If you haven’t yet registered to vote, get it off your to-do list now.

Thousands of local, state and national organizations have mobilized to make sure millions of people don’t miss the chance to cast their vote in this year’s elections.

Six million people didn’t vote in the 2008 elections because they either did not know how to register or because they missed the voter registration deadline.

The voter registration deadline for Michigan is Oct. 9.

Here’s information on how you can register in Dearborn in time for the Nov. 6 elections:

  • Head to the Dearborn City Clerk's office, located on the first floor of Dearborn City Hall. The clerk's office is open 8 a.m-4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
  • Any Secretary of State office offers voter registration. Dearborn has one at 5094 Schaefer Road. It's open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Wednesday 11 a.m.-7 p.m.
  • Dearborn's Republican Victory Center, located at 22707 Michigan Ave., has voter registration on site. Same goes for Dearborn's Obama for America office, located at 13742 Michigan Ave.

Remember: A valid driver's license or state ID must be shown in many cases when registering to vote. If you don't have either, check with the location beforehand to see if other forms of identification are acceptible.

Voter registration cards generally take two weeks to arrive by mail. When you get yours, don't forget to go out and vote Nov. 6!
