Following a Michigan absentee ballot through the process

General election voting in Michigan is underway. Absentee ballots are in the mail or available for pickup and drop boxes are open.

Early in-person voting is already happening in Detroit and goes statewide on Saturday. These relatively new ballot options are changing the culture of voting in Michigan.

No-reason absentee voting, ballot drop boxes, early in-person voting that all begin weeks before Election Day are now all in wide use under reforms adopted under recent amendments to the Michigan Constitution.

“It’s abundantly clear that absentee voting is here to stay,” Canton Township Clerk Michael Siegrist told Michigan Public Radio.
