Absentee Voting
All registered voters have the option to vote absentee. If you would like to receive an absentee ballot, please contact the City Clerk at 248.474.5500 or complete and sign this APPLICATION and return it to City Hall.
The biggest change to Absentee Voting in Michigan is the addition of the Permanent Absentee Ballot List. Voters who are on our Permanent Absentee Ballot List will automatically be mailed an absentee ballot for every election.
With the implementation of the Permanent Absentee Ballot option, the State will be phasing out the Automatic Absentee Ballot Application List. In the past, voters on this list would automatically be mailed an absentee ballot application before every election. Once this option is phased out, voters who are not on the Permanent Absentee Ballot List will have to request an application in order to receive one to apply for an absentee ballot.
If you are not on the Permanent Absentee Ballot List but would like to be added, simply check the box on any absentee ballot application to be added. Call the Clerk’s Office to receive an application.

- How to Register to Vote

Register on line at the Michigan Voter Information Center.
Individuals are encouraged to register to vote as early as possible before an election. Methods and requirements for voter registration depend on the following deadlines:
If there are 15+ days before an election, individuals can register in-person at the City Clerk’s office or a Michigan Secretary of State branch office, on line, or by mail.
Within 14 days of an election and on Election Day, individuals may only register by visiting their local Clerk’s office to register in person with documentation of their proof of residency.
