Here is what voters need to know:

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Find your voting location here.

Voters should present photo identification, such as a Michigan driver's license or identification card. Voters without such ID can sign a brief affidavit stating they don't possess a photo ID, which will allow them to vote and have their ballots counted.

In the primary, voters must keep their votes to a single party column — either the Democratic, Republican or Libertarian races. Voters aren't allowed to "split their tickets" or cast "straight-party" votes.

Voters who still have absentee ballots must turn in their ballots in person to their local clerk's office.

Voters are banned from wearing or displaying election-related materials at the polls, including clothing, buttons, stickers, pamphlets and fliers. They also can't have them within 100 feet of an entrance to a polling place.

Voters are banned from using video cameras, still cameras and other recording devices at the polls.
