What if I already filled out my absentee ballot?

If you already filled our your absentee ballot but haven't sent it in, you can head to your early voting center where you can feed it into the tabulator. Look up where your early voting center is at michigan.gov/vote by clicking "Your voter information" and then "Search for your early voting information."

You can also return your absentee ballot via a drop box or bring it to your clerk's office (you can find drop box locations and your clerk's office address at michigan.gov/vote). You can also pop it into the mailbox, but election officials recommend using a drop box or returning it in person within two weeks of Election Day to avoid postal delays.
