Absentee Voting

All eligible and registered voters in Michigan may request an absentee voter ballot without declaring a reason. To vote by absentee voter ballot, return a completed Absent Voter Ballot Application (or apply for your ballot online). Once a completed application is returned and the voter's signature is verified, a ballot is mailed to the voter at their registered home address. Absentee ballots can not be forwarded by the USPS. If you would like to receive your ballot at a different address, include that information on the application or contact the clerk to update the ballot address.

Voters can track the status of their absent voter application and ballot at the Michigan Voter Information Center.

Note: Voters returning their application after 5pm the Friday before an election should do so in person at the Township Clerk's Office. Ballots can not be mailed to voters after 5pm the Friday before an election; after this time, the voter must pick up the ballot in person. Absent voter ballots can be issued until 4 pm the Monday before the election.

Please include your phone number or email address on your absent voter ballot application so that we can contact you if there are signature issues.

Ballots can be returned 24/7 via one of the two secure drop boxes located at the Township Hall or mailed using the postage-paid envelope provided with your ballot.
