PERMANENT BALLOT VOTER LIST
Michigan voters now have the option to be part of the Permanent Ballot Voter List. Once on this list, you will be mailed your ballot automatically for all elections. However, your ballot will always be mailed to the address you give on the Permanent Ballot Voter Application. Once you are on this list, the only way to be removed or to change the address you need your ballot mailed is to send a signed written request to your Local Clerk. Your ballot can NOT be forwarded. By law the USPS cannot forward election mail.
PERMANENT ABSENTEE VOTER LIST
Still available to all Michigan voters is the option to be on the Permanent Absentee Voter List. Once on this list, you will be mailed a form for every election giving you the option to have your ballot mailed to a different address. If you don't want a ballot mailed to you for that election or you choose to vote in person simply do not return the form.
