LANSING – Today, Frank Prezzato, 68, of St. Clair Shores pled guilty to one count of Voting Absentee and In-Person, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Prezzato, in articulating the facts necessary for the plea, acknowledged that he acted recklessly in voting twice during the same election. 

“Voting twice undermines our democratic process,” Nessel said. “My office will continue to prosecute those who violate our voting laws to ensure Michigan voters have confidence in the integrity of our elections.” 

Prezzato appeared in person at his local polling location on Election Day in St. Clair Shores, requesting and voting a ballot in the August Primary Election, despite having returned an absentee ballot for the same election. He voted both in-person and absentee, and both votes were counted in the primary election. Prezzato was charged with one count of Voting Absentee and In-Person and one count of Offering to Vote More Than Once in October 2024. 

As part of the plea agreement, Prezzato will serve a a six-month delayed probation sentence. If the defendant successfully meets all terms and conditions of the probation, all charges will be dismissed with prejudice at the end of the probationary period. Prezzato will be sentenced by Judge Anthony Servitto of the 16th Circuit Court in Macomb County on October 22, 2025.
