Can I wear election-related clothing to the polls?

Michigan has prohibited the practice of displaying election-related materials at the polls for decades. This includes clothing and buttons as well as materials such as pamphlets, flyers, and stickers. You cannot display such items in the polling place or within 100 feet of an entrance to a polling place.

If you go to the polls with a shirt or button bearing election-related images or slogans, you will be asked to cover or remove it.
