This allows voters the opportunity to independently and privately vote a ballot.

Though you are able to pick up and drop off absentee ballot applications for members of your household, State of Michigan Election Law DOES NOT allow election staff to release actual ballots to anyone but the voter.

You can return your completed absentee ballot in several ways:

• Drop Boxes
  
  • Municipal Building, 1 Crocker Blvd (open 24 hours)
  • Cairns Community Center, 58 Orchard St (open 24 hours)
  • Inside the Municipal Building, 1 Crocker Blvd (during business hours)
• In Person
  Hand deliver your ballot to the City Clerk’s Office on the second floor of the Municipal Building.

By Mail
Use the prepaid return envelope included with your ballot and send it through the U.S. Postal Service.

All absentee ballots must be received by the City Clerk’s Office no later than 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. It’s best to return your ballot as early as possible to avoid risking delays

No. Mount Clemens absentee ballots must be returned to a Mount Clemens drop box or the City Clerk’s office. Ballots placed in another municipality’s box (such as Clinton Township, Harrison Township, or Detroit) will not be counted.

Election staff will document receipt of your ballot including recording it with the State of Michigan. The received ballot is then locked in a secure area accessible only by the City Clerk’s office. You may track your ballot online at: https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index.

If a voter never received their mailed ballot or would like to make a change to the ballot that they already returned, they may spoil their ballot and request a new one. To spoil a ballot a voter must:

• Request in writing that they would like to spoil the ballot that they were issued with this form: Request to Spoil Ballot.
• If the ballot has already been received by the City Clerk’s office, this request must be received by 5:00 pm on the second Friday prior to the election.
• If the ballot has not been returned to the City Clerk’s Office, it may only be spoiled in person up to the day prior to the election by 4:00 p.m.
• There is NO option on Election Day to spoil an absentee ballot that has been received by the City Clerk.
