The City of Farmington Hills Clerk’s Office reminds residents that absent voter ballots are now available for the Aug. 4 state primary election. Those who previously submitted an absent ballot application or who are on the City’s permanent absent ballot list have already received their ballots.

Residents who have not yet applied for an absent ballot still have multiple ways to do so. Applications may be submitted by mail, placed in a secure drop box, emailed to FHClerk@fhgov.com or completed in person at the City Clerk’s Office.

Absent ballots are also available for in person pickup at the City Clerk’s Office. Residents choosing this option should bring a photo ID; those without one may complete an Affidavit of Person Not in Possession of Photo ID to receive their ballot.

Voters can return their completed ballot in several ways:

• By mail, in the accompanying purple pre-paid return envelope.
• In any of the City’s five ballot drop boxes (map):
• Farmington Hills Police Department: 31655 W. Eleven Mile Road
• Costick Activities Center: 28600 W. Eleven Mile Road
• Division of Public Works: 27245 Halsted Road
• Fire Station #1: 35725 Nine Mile Road
• Fire Station #3: 29260 Grand River Avenue
• In person at the City Clerk’s Office, located inside Farmington Hills City Hall at 31555 W. Eleven Mile Road

Voters can track their ballots from mailing to receipt through the Michigan Voter Information Center at https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index.
