Citizenship, Michigan residency, and being at least 18 by Election Day. The state allows same-day voter registration at the clerk's office or polling place with proof of residency. While the registration deadline for mail or online registration is 15 days before an election, same-day registration remains available. Acceptable identification includes a Michigan driver's license, state ID, or other government-issued photo ID, though voters without ID can sign an affidavit affirming their identity. As an unincorporated community without municipal government, Harrietta residents don't vote in city council or mayoral elections. Instead, voters participate in Selma Township elections for township supervisor, clerk, treasurer, and trustees, typically held in even-numbered years during the August primary and November general election. Wexford County holds elections for county commissioners, sheriff, prosecutor, clerk, treasurer, register of deeds, and drain commissioner on four-year cycles. Residents here are part of Wexford County Commission districts represented by commissioners elected from geographic districts. Polling place assignments can be found using the Michigan Voter Information Center at www.michigan.gov/vote by entering a street address. The ballot will include elections for Michigan Governor (four-year term), Secretary of State, Attorney General, all 110 Michigan House of Representatives seats (two-year terms), approximately half of the 38 Michigan Senate seats (four-year terms on staggered basis), Wexford County offices including several commissioners and potentially constitutional offices depending on term cycles, and Selma Township offices if coinciding with the four-year cycle.

Michigan offers no-reason absentee voting, allowing any registered voter to request an absentee ballot without providing justification. Absentee ballot applications can be submitted through the Michigan Voter Information Center online, by mail, or in person at the Wexford County Clerk's office. Applications must be received by 5:00 PM the Friday before Election Day, though voters can request and submit absentee ballots in person at the clerk's office up until 8:00 PM on Election Day itself. Michigan election records that are public include voter registration lists (available to qualified requesters under MCL 168.522-523 with restrictions on use), campaign finance disclosure reports searchable at www.michigan.gov/sos, candidate filings and ballot access petitions, precinct-level election results, and absentee ballot statistics. Individual voter history (which elections a person voted in, but not how they voted) is public record, while actual ballot choices remain secret under Michigan's constitutional guarantee of secret ballot.
