We strongly suggest requesting an application in-person (if possible) as soon as possible if you are interested in voting absentee.
Absentee ballots must be received at the City Office (8123 Main St., 2nd Floor) no later than 8:00pm on Tuesday, August 2, 2022 for the ballot to be tabulated.
If you have mailed in your absentee ballot, you can check to see that your ballot has been received by our office by visiting - https://www.michigan.gov/vote. When the ballot is marked as received it means the signature has been reviewed and the ballot is ready for processing on election day.
Absentee ballots are available at the City Clerk's Office (8123 Main, 2nd floor) for in-person pick-up the following dates and times:
Friday, July 29th and Saturday, July 30th - 9 am to 5 pm
Monday, August 1st from 9 am - 4 pm (Ballot must be voted at the City Office)
It is against State of Michigan election law for the Clerk to give an absentee ballot over the counter to someone other than the person whose name is on the ballot.
Absentee ballot return options:
Place it into the drop box located outside the front door of the City Offices (PNC Bank) at 8123 Main, which is accessible 24/7.
From 9 am to 5 pm this Friday (29th), Saturday (30th) or Monday (1st), ballots can be brought to the City Office.
Send in via mail, however postal delays can occur which could lead to the ballot not being received by 8 pm on Election Day.
On Election Day, absentee ballots must be returned directly to the City Office (including the drop box) between the hours of 7 am and 8 pm.
For election related questions, please contact City Clerk Justin Breyer at 734-580-2234 or via e-mail at jbreyer@dextermi.gov.
