How do I obtain an absentee application / ballot?
Voters must fill out an application for each election. Absent voter ballots are available to registered voters for all elections. Due to the passage of the statewide ballot proposal 18-3 in November 2018, all eligible and registered voters in Michigan may now request an absent voter ballot without providing a reason.
Richland Township Clerk maintains a permanent list of voters who wish to receive an application for every election. If you wish to be placed on the permanent Absent Voter List you may complete a request here. Click on the on-line application.
Applications for an absentee ballot may be downloaded from the Michigan Secretary of State website (click here) or you may also apply in writing, including your registered address in Richland Township, where you want the ballot sent, and your signature. All written requests to have an absent voter ballot mailed to you must be received to the Township no later than 5pm the Friday before the election.
You can also come into the Township Office to get an application. Please be prepared to show a valid, government issued ID when you apply. You may request an absentee ballot in person until 4:00 p.m. Monday before the election.
