LANSING – Today, Frank Prezzato, 69, of St. Clair Shores, was sentenced to six months’ delayed probation after pleading guilty in September to one count of Voting Absentee and In-Person, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Prezzato previously acknowledged that he acted recklessly in voting twice during the same election.
“Voting twice undermines our democratic process,” said Nessel at the time of the plea. “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 2024 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.
If Prezzato successfully meets all terms and conditions of the probation, all charges will be dismissed with prejudice at the end of the probationary period. A delayed sentence review is scheduled for April 15, 2026, in the 16th Circuit Court in Macomb County.
