Those hoping to vote in the election over the next two weeks must be registered to vote.

The deadline to sign up is today.

More than eight million residents are currently registered and more than one million voters have already cast absentee ballots in the November elections.

The Secretary of State's office says those needing to register can do so online at Michigan-dot-gov. If someone misses today's deadline, they can still register through Election Day by going to their local city or township clerk's office with a document verifying their residency.
