Absentee Ballots

All registered voters in Michigan have the right to vote by mail using an absentee ballot delivered to their home. Voters can also request an absentee ballot directly from their local clerk’s office. Absentee ballots are available beginning 40 days prior to every election. 

Michigan voters can now join the permanent absentee ballot list by checking a box on the application to receive an absentee ballot for every election. 

Absentee ballots will not be supplied through telephone requests. Visit the Michigan Department of State's website to learn more about absentee voting.
