  • Peak voting hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Voters who want to avoid long lines are encouraged to vote during midday hours.
  • If you are standing in line by 8 p.m., then you won't be turned away.
  • Ann Arbor public schools are closed on election day. Polling places located within schools are open. Signs will be posted at all polling locations to assist voters.
