Starting in 2023 voters can request to be added to the Permanent Ballot List and will receive a ballot for each election automatically. Previous to 2023, voters could be added to the Absentee Voter Application list and anyone still on that list will receive an application prior to each election to decide if they would like a ballot sent. If you would like an absentee ballot or wish to be placed on the permanent absentee list, please contact the Clerk’s office.

To be an election worker, you must be a registered voter of the state, or 16-17 years old and a resident of Michigan. An election worker cannot be be a challenger, candidate, member of a candidate’s immediate family, or a member of the local board of canvassers. Anyone convicted of a felony or an election crime may not serve. In order to become an election inspector you will need to attend training(s), submit a completed election inspector application to your local clerk, and be appointed by the local city/township board.
