Voting by Absentee Ballot
If you'll be out of town during the election, it’s easy to vote by absentee ballot – it just takes a little planning.
You'll find information and application forms at the Secretary of State's website.
Below are the steps for absentee voting:
- Register to vote if you have not already done so.
- You can cast an absentee ballot in person at your county auditor’s office and in some areas, your city or township clerk’s office. This option is available weekdays during business hours. Contact your county auditor for more information.
- Alternatively, you can request to have an absentee ballot sent to you and you can return it to your county auditor by mail, fax or e-mail. Your ballot will be sent to you when it is ready -- at least 46 days before the election if you applied for it in advance.
- Follow the instructions on the ballot and return it to your county auditor by Election Day.
