How do I get an absentee ballot?
Eligible voters may request an absentee ballot for any reason at all. It is still wise to apply 1-2 months prior to the election. You can get everything you need to vote absentee at Michigan.gov/vote or at your local clerk’s office.
To automatically receive your application to vote absentee in all future elections, just ask to be placed on the Permanent Absentee Voter list!

- mail your ballot back
- even vote at your polling place on election day.
Sign up at Michigan.gov/Vote or in person at your city/township clerk’s office. Voting absentee is perfectly safe. You’ll find excellent, bipartisan information about voting absentee here.
