Absent Voter FAQ’s
- Everyone gets 1 vote/ballot. Period. It’s tracked in the computer: 1 registered voter = 1 ballot.
- Deceased people do not vote.
- Only registered voters are issued absent voter ballots.
- Every returned ballot must be signed by the voter and that signature is verified against their voter registration record.
- Every verified ballot is counted. It’s not early voting, no counting or tabulating begins until election day. It’s an ongoing process all day on election day.
- It’s false that absentee voter ballots are counted only if the election is “close”. How would the clerk’s office know what the preponderance of votes were for any candidate when those ballots are securely tabulated in the precinct? We don’t. No one does until those results are securely sent to Oakland County.
- As an absent voter application moves through the process, every step is entered into, and tracked by, the computer. Same goes for every absent voter ballot issued. In fact, you are able to track your application and ballot through the system at mi.gov/vote.
- The number of ballots processed and counted by the absent voter counting board, composed of an equal number of Republican and Democratic election inspectors who work in opposite party pairs all day, must equal the number of ballots received by the Clerk’s office. There are checks and balances in both the computer and the personnel utilized to tabulate the ballots.
