Insiders survey results: Mail-in voting gets positive reviews

With the passage of statewide ballot proposal 18-3, all eligible and registered voters in Michigan may now request an absent voter ballot without providing a reason.

That’s more important than ever now with the coronavirus pandemic. We have two elections on the horizon in Michigan: The Aug. 4 Primary and the Nov. 3 General.
