Vote at Home

Registered voters with a Michigan ID can request an absentee ballot online using the absentee voter request form.

Registered voters can also print, complete, and sign an absentee ballot application and return it to the clerk’s office by mail, email, fax, dropbox, or in person.

Click here to be added to the Automatic Absentee Application List in order to automatically receive an absentee application for every election.

Learn more about voting at home by visiting the Michigan Voter Information Center.

If a voter has already voted absentee and wishes to change their vote (because the candidate has dropped out of the race, or for any other reason), a voter can spoil their ballot by submitting a written request to our office.
