LANSING, MI— With just under four weeks until Michigan’s Primary Election Day, more than
1.5 million of the state’s voters have requested an absentee ballot.
The Secretary of State’s Office says more than 178,000 voters have already submitted a completed ballot, breaking the previous record set in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of July 9, a total of 1,518,665 citizens have requested an absentee ballot or received a ballot after joining the permanent absentee ballot list. That’s
157,833 more than had requested an absentee ballot at the same point prior to the 2020 August Primary.
Voters can check the status of their absentee application or ballot online at www.michigan.gov/Vote or by contacting their local election clerk.
