Yes, but only if you have never previously voted in Michigan. If you have never voted in Michigan, and choose to register by mail, you must appear in person to vote in the first election in which you wish to participate.

However, this requirement does not apply if:

• You personally hand-deliver the registration form to your county, city or township clerk's office instead of mailing the form, or
• You are 60 years of age or more, or
• You are disabled, or
• You are eligible to vote under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

You must also meet an identification requirement under federal law. That means you must:

• Enter your state-issued driver's license number or personal ID card number where requested on the registration form, or
• Send one of the following forms of identification when mailing this form to your county, city or township clerk:
  • A photocopy of a current and valid photo identification (such as a driver's license or personal ID card) or
  • A photocopy of a paycheck stub, utility bill, bank statement or a government document that lists your name and address.

NEVER SEND AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT!

If you don't fulfill that requirement, you will be asked for an acceptable form of identification before you vote in your first election in Michigan. The identification requirement does not apply if:

• You personally hand-deliver the registration form to your county, city or township clerk's office instead of mailing the form, or,
• You are disabled, or
• You are eligible to vote under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

You will still be required to produce photo ID in every election in order to vote as part of a state requirement. Visit the Michigan Voter Information Center at www.Michigan.gov/vote for more information on Voter ID and Registering to Vote.
