Absent voter ballots may be requested at the clerk’s office until 4 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 26. A voter may vote their ballot in the clerk’s office and turn it in, leave with the ballot and return it to the clerk’s office or to a ballot drop box in the jurisdiction no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day, or tabulate the absent voter ballot in the voter’s precinct on Election Day. This is a change from past elections, where, on the Monday before an election, a voter had to remain in the clerk’s office and complete and return their ballot. Please note, the Saturday and/or Sunday office hours, AV ballot issuance and voter registration article in the Feb. 22, 2024 News Update incorrectly stated that a voter may not leave with their absent voter ballot on Monday. However, the information contained in Election Official's Manual - Chapter 6: Michigan's absent voter process on pages 8 – 9 is correct.
