Elections

Things that voters should know:

  • Ballots will never be sent out unless the voter submits a completed application to our office.
  • You only need to submit one application to the Clerk’s Office – even if you receive multiple applications in the mail.
  • Signatures are required on every application and ballot envelope and are verified against the signature on the voter registration file.
  • Submitting applications by email is one option, but we hope that most votes will continue with the practice of delivery to our dropbox or by mail- so our email server doesn’t become overwhelmed.
  • You can track your application and ballot status at mi.gov/vote. This site will show if and when we receive your application or ballot or when we mailed those to you.
  • Ballots must be received by 8:00 PM election day to be counted.
  • Ballots cannot be forwarded if you are temporarily staying somewhere other than your residence indicate that address on your application.
Have you ever wondered about the Absent voter ballot process?

Identification requirements

Effective with the November 6, 2007 election, picture identification is required. Voters can satisfy this picture identification requirement by showing a Michigan driver's license or a Michigan personal identification card. A voter who does not possess either document may show any of the following forms of picture identification as long as they are current.

  • Driver's license or personal identification card issued by another state.
  • Federal or state government-issued photo identification.
  • U.S. passport
  • Military identification card with photo
  • Student identification with photo from a high school or an accredited institution of higher education.
  • Tribal identification card with photo.
An affidavit has been developed for voters who do not possess picture identification to sign prior to voting.
