Beginning 40 days before the Election you can vote early in person or apply for an absentee ballot at your City/Township Clerk’s office. You can apply for the absentee ballot and vote that ballot during the same visit! Early voting continues until 4pm the day before the Election.
If you prefer, you can bring your ballot home to vote, just be sure to return the ballot by 8:00 pm on Election Day. However, a voter who visits their clerk’s office to obtain an absentee ballot on Monday, November 7 must vote the ballot in the office; the voter is not permitted to leave the office with the ballot.
City/Township Clerk offices must be open for at least 8 hours the weekend before the Election to allow for registration and voting by absentee ballot. To check your specific clerk’s hours, please click here.
