Mailing of state general election ballots begins Monday, Sept. 28

 

The Clerk’s Office will begin mailing Absent Voter (AV) ballots for the Nov. 3 State General Election beginning Monday, Sept. 28 to voters who have already requested a ballot and voters currently on the City’s permanent ballot list.

 

Those who have already requested an AV ballot or are on the permanent ballot list may pick up their own ballot from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24 and Friday, Sept. 25 at the Farmington Hills City Clerk’s Office, before the Clerk’s bulk mailing. Voters must bring photo identification. Those without a photo ID may complete an Affidavit of Person Not in Possession of Photo ID to receive their ballot. If voters prefer to receive an AV ballot by mail, no action is needed.
