Absentee Voting

All registered voters have the option to vote absentee. If you would like to receive an absentee ballot, please contact the City Clerk at 248.474.5500 or complete and sign this APPLICATION and return it to City Hall.

The biggest change to Absentee Voting in Michigan is the addition of the Permanent Absentee Ballot List. Voters who are on our Permanent Absentee Ballot List will automatically be mailed an absentee ballot for every election. 

If you are not on the Permanent Absentee Ballot List but would like to be added, simply check the box on any absentee ballot application to be added. Call the Clerk’s Office to receive an application. You may also submit, in writing, the request to be added. The request can be emailed to: farmingtonclerk@farmgov.com or dropped off at City Hall.
