Yes, anyone can vote by absentee ballot. If you’d like to be on the permanent list, please visit the Michigan Voter Information Center website or contact the Clerk’s Office to receive an absentee voter ballot application for every election.

Any registered voter may ask to be on the permanent absentee voter list. Being on the permanent absentee voter list means that you will receive an absentee ballot application form for each election. This form needs to be competed and returned to the Clerk’s Office so we can mail you a ballot. Being on the permanent absentee list guarantees you will receive an absentee ballot application form, not a physical ballot.

Once you are registered to vote in the township, the Clerk will mail you a voter registration card.

No. Election law specifically states that power of attorney does not apply for voting purposes.

Being on the permanent list does not guarantee a ballot for every election. Rather, it means that you will automatically receive an application for an absentee ballot. The application must be completed and returned to the Clerk’s Office prior to receiving a ballot.

At any time up to and including election day. However, you must be a resident of St. Ignace
