LANSING, MI— With three weeks until the November 3rd General Election, more than
440,000 Michigan voters have already returned their completed ballot at a drop box, to their clerk’s office, or by mail.
Michigan Secretary of State officials say that’s 6 percent of all active registered voters. More than two million registered voters have requested an absentee ballot, an increase of 20 percent from the same point before the 2022 midterm election.
A voter’s ballot must be in their assigned ballot drop box or received by their clerk no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.
Voters can also return their mail ballot to their early voting site before Election Day. Early voting sites open statewide on October 24, and will be open at least eight hours every day through November 1. Look up your early voting site, days, and times at www.michigan.gov/earlyvoting.
