Uploading Voter History |
Thank you to clerks across the state for timely uploading voter history for the August 2, 2022 election. We very much appreciate your diligence in fulfilling your duties, especially during a busy time wrapping up the last election and preparing for the next. Because the provisional ballot and affidavit of voter not in possession of ID information is included with this upload, those reports were timely submitted if you uploaded your EPB. If you are one of the very small number of jurisdictions that has not yet completed your upload, please do so immediately. If you manually uploaded your voting history rather than uploading the EPB, please make sure you also submitted your Provisional Ballot and Affidavit of Voter Not in Possession of ID Survey.

Voter Registration Mailing Update |
Next week, the Michigan Department of State will begin sending voter registration mailings to eligible but unregistered individuals with a Michigan driver’s license or state ID card. The mailings are part of Michigan’s participation in the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) program. Through the ERIC program, Michigan obtains information about individuals who are eligible but not registered to vote in Michigan, as well as information about registered voters who may have left the state or otherwise become ineligible. Based on data received from ERIC, the Bureau of Elections will be sending voter registration mailers to approximately individuals. These mailers will notify Michigan residents of their voter registration eligibility and offer options to register online or to return the inserted card to the Secretary of State to be registered. Registration will occur through the driver database – clerks will not be mailed forms. However, the mailer also gives voters information on how to contact their local clerk to register to vote if the voter prefers that method of registration. Additionally, if a voter returns the form to you instead of the Bureau, the form contains all required information for a voter registration form, and you may use the form to register the voter.
Because voter registration through these mailers will occur primarily through the driver database, clerks should not expect an increase in voter registration forms mailed to their offices as a result of these mailings. However, you may see an increased number of new voter registrations in QVF as a result of these mailers.

-
Scanning AV barcodes in Voter Search – an earlier issue has now been corrected so that you can search for a voter by scanning an absent voter application or ballot label barcode from either the Voter Search or the AV Scan module.
-
Dymo label barcodes are slightly taller. This should make it easier to scan barcodes.
-
The Perm Accessible Report’s CSV format now includes the voter’s email address.
- New Inbox Feature: When clicking the EDIT button for an intermediate move notification in the Inbox, an address selection window will pop up, allowing you to choose to open either the newer (Moved To) address or the former (Moved From) address.
