More than 1.5 million Michigan voters have been sent an absentee ballot and more than 634,000 have already been returned ahead of the Aug. 6 primary election. Credit: Shutterstock

  • Michigan’s Aug. 6 election includes primaries for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, the state House and more
  • Over 1.5 million absentee ballots have  been sent to Michigan voters and more than 634,000 have been returned
  • Michiganders can still register to vote and have multiple options to participate in the primary, including an early voting period

If you’re one of the nearly 1 million Michigan voters who requested an absentee ballot for the Aug. 6 primary but haven’t yet returned it, it’s probably too late to mail it now, according to the Michigan Secretary of State. 

Instead, if you still want to vote absentee, you should return your ballot to a drop box (find one here) or your local clerk’s office. You can also bring your absentee ballot to an early-voting site (find yours here) before Election Day. 

But here’s the important thing to know: Your absentee ballot has to reach your clerk by the time polls close at 8 p.m. on Election Day for it to count, and you don’t want to risk potential mail delays. 

As of Thursday, 1,589,363 Michigan voters had been sent absentee ballots, and 634,898 had been returned, according to the state. That means 954,465 voters have not yet returned ballots they requested. 

With the primary election fast approaching, here’s what else to know: 

Voter registration

You can still register to vote through Election Day, but you have to do it in person at this point. Michigan law prohibits residents from registering to vote online or by mail within 14 days of the election. Click here to learn more.

Likewise, voters who are already registered but want to update their registration must do it in person at their local clerk’s office. 

Michigan now allows same-day voter registration until 8 p.m. on Election Day at your local clerk’s office. 

In-person voting

Michigan’s new early voting period begins Saturday, July 27, and runs through Aug. 4. If you choose this option, you can fill out a ballot and feed it into a tabulator to see it counted — just like Election Day. Find your early voting site here

If you want to vote on Election Day itself, remember that polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. As long as you’re in line by then, your vote will count. Find your polling place here. 

If you requested an absentee ballot but want to vote in person instead, you can use your ballot at an early voting site or “spoil” it to get a new one on site. 

Some basics about voting

To be eligible to vote in Michigan, you must: 

  • Be a citizen of the U.S. 
  • Have lived in the city or township they are registering in for at least 30 days before the election 
  • Not be serving a jail or prison sentence 
  • Be at least 18 years old 

If you’re going to vote in person, bring photo identification, because you’ll be asked to show it. If you’re registered to vote but don’t have an ID or forget to bring it, you can still vote by signing an affidavit attesting to your identity. 

Janelle D. James covers breaking news at Bridge Michigan.

Votaciones Primarias del 6 de agosto en Michigan: lo qué hay que saber sobre el voto ausente y anticipado.

Más de 1,5 millones de votantes de Michigan han recibido una papeleta por voto ausente, habiendo sido devueltas más de 634.000 antes de las elecciones primarias del 6 de agosto. Fuente: Shutterstock

  • Las elecciones del 6 de agosto en Michigan incluyen las primarias para el Senado de los EE. UU., la Cámara de Representantes de los EE. UU., la Cámara de Representantes estatales, etc.
  • Se han enviado más de 1,5 millones de boletas electorales por voto ausente en Michigan, siendo devueltas a la fecha más de 634.000.
  • Los habitantes de Michigan aún pueden registrarse, con múltiples opciones para participar en las elecciones, incluido el período de votación anticipada.

Si usted es uno de los casi 1 millón de votantes de Michigan que solicitaron una papeleta de voto ausente, para las primarias del 6 de agosto, pero aún no ha devuelto su voto, es posible que sea demasiado tarde para enviarlo por correo, de acuerdo al Secretario de Estado de Michigan.

Pero si aún desea votar en ausencia, debe devolver su papeleta en un buzón (encuentre uno aquí) o en las oficinas de su ciudad. También puede llevar su papeleta de voto ausente, a un sitio de votación anticipada (encuentre el suyo aquí) antes del día de las elecciones.

Es importante tener en cuenta que su boleta electoral en ausencia, debe llegar a las oficinas de su ciudad antes del cierre de urnas a las 8 p. m. el día de las elecciones, evite correr el riesgo de demoras en el correo.

Hasta el jueves, se habían enviado 1.589.363 papeletas de voto ausente en Michigan y se habían devuelto 634.898, según el estado. Eso significa que 954.465 votantes aún no las han devuelto.

Con las elecciones primarias acercándose, esto es lo que debe saber:

Registro de votantes

Puede registrarse para votar hasta el día de las elecciones, pero debe hacerlo en persona. La ley de Michigan prohíbe a los residentes registrarse para votar en línea o por correo dentro de los 14 días previos a las elecciones. Haga clic aquí para obtener más información.

Asimismo, los votantes que ya están registrados, pero desean actualizar su registro deberán hacerlo en persona en las oficinas municipales o de su ciudad.

Michigan ahora permite el registro de votantes el mismo día hasta las 8 p. m. del día de las elecciones, en las oficinas correspondientes.

Votaciones en persona

El nuevo período de votación anticipada de Michigan comienza el sábado 27 de julio y se extiende hasta el 4 de agosto. Si elige esta opción, puede completar una papeleta y colocarla en un tabulador para contabilizarla, al igual que el día de la elección. Encuentre su sitio de votación anticipada aquí

Las urnas estarán abiertas de 7 a.m. a 8 p.m. el día de las elecciones y si está en la fila en ese momento, su voto cuenta. Encuentre su lugar de votación aquí.

Si solicitó una boleta de voto ausente, pero desea votar en persona, puede usar su boleta en un sitio de votación anticipada o “anularla” para obtener una nueva en el sitio.

Conceptos básicos sobre las elecciones

Para ser elegible para votar en Michigan, debe:

  • Ser ciudadano de los EE. UU.
  • Haber vivido en la ciudad o municipio en el que se está registrando, al menos 30 días antes de las elecciones.
  • No estar cumpliendo una sentencia en prisión.
  • Tener al menos 18 años de edad.

Para votar en persona, presente una identificación con fotografía. Si está registrado para votar, pero no tiene una identificación o la olvidó, aún puede votar firmando una declaración jurada que acredite su identidad.
