Elections

Things that voters should know:

You only need to submit one application to the Clerk’s Office – even if you receive multiple applications in the mail.
Signatures are required on every application and ballot envelope and are verified against the signature on the voter registration file.
Submitting applications by email is one option, but we hope that most votes will continue with the practice of delivery to our dropbox or by mail- so our email server doesn’t become overwhelmed.
You can track your application and ballot status at mi.gov/vote. This site will show if and when we receive your application or ballot or when we mailed those to you.
Ballots must be received by 8:00 PM election day to be counted.
Ballots cannot be forwarded if you are temporarily staying somewhere other than your residence indicate that address on your application.

Have you ever wondered about the Absent voter ballot process?
