Absentee ballots are available at the Township Hall (or download application ) for all elections approximately 3-4 weeks prior to an election. You may fill out the application at any time, and once the ballots are made available to us, we will mail it to you.

There are some restrictions:

* If you registered to vote by mail, your registration will be marked “challenged” since no registrar viewed your signature. You will not be able to vote absentee via mail until you have voted once at the polls, at which time proof of identification will be required. If you pick up your absentee ballot, your signature can be validated at that time and the “challenged” status removed.

Absent Voter Ballot Application Permanent List: Michigan Election Law now grants authority to clerks to establish a list of voters that have requested to be on a permanent list to receive an absent voter ballot application prior to every election. You must meet one of the statutory requirements to obtain an absentee ballot:

1. Will be absent from the community
2. Physically unable to attend polls
3. Tenets of religion
4. Appointed election inspector in precinct other than residence
5. 60 years of age or older
6. Confined to jail awaiting arraignment or trial

When you receive the application prior to each elcection, you may choose to fill out the application and receive a ballot, or discard the application and vote at the polls election day.

To be added to the permanent list fillout the response card/form and return it to the Township Clerk - Permanent Absent Voter List Form
