Attention Voters – effective immediately – 11/26/07
Absentee Ballots Must be Requested

You must “request” an Absentee ballot for ALL future Elections conducted by the Township

• As a courtesy to our voters, the township has mailed unsolicited AV application forms to all registered voters over the age of 60, for the past 25 years.
• A recent court case decision, in the City of Detroit, now prohibits the practice and the clerk’s office has established a new procedure that is permitted under election law.
• If you are interested in automatically receiving an APPLICATION to request an Absentee Ballot, for all future elections, please complete the PERMANENT ABSENTEE LIST (PAL) form by clicking here, or we can fax a form to you, or request the form by phone or in person.
• Placement on the permanent absentee list (PAL) does not require that you vote absentee in all elections. If you plan to vote in person at your polling location, at any election, do not complete or return the form.

We are sorry for any inconvenience to you in obtaining an absentee ballot. The township is interested in making it as easy as possible for eligible voters to cast a ballot in all elections. If you have any questions, visit the clerk’s office or call (248) 348-5800, ext. 10201 or you can email the clerk with any questions or if you need additional information.

Picture ID Required to Vote

Every Michigan voter who shows up to vote at the polls MUST show picture identification, or sign an affidavit attesting that he or she is not in possession of picture identification. EVERY voter will be asked for PICTURE identification, regardless of whether or not you are personally known by the precinct inspectors.

A ballot CANNOT be issued to a voter unless the voter provides picture identification or signs the affidavit. Elections for 2008 include: January 15th, February 26th (not confirmed), May 6th, August 5th and November 4th.

• Driver’s license or personal identification card issued by another state.
