LANSING, Mich. The Michigan Bureau of Elections has launched an accessible absent voter ballot application that can be used to apply for an accessible electronic absent voter ballot for the August Election. Blind voters and others with severe disabilities that prevent them from voting absent voter ballots privately and independently can mark the documents on an electronic device, using their own assistive technology, without visiting a polling place or clerks office. Voters with disabilities can also visit their local clerks office to request an absent voter ballot in person. Those options include absentee by mail, absentee at a ballot dropbox, in-person absentee at their local clerks office or satellite office, or at a polling location on election day. Blind voters can locate the accessible application to vote absentee at Michigan.gov/Vote by clicking the link to download an application or the submenu for absentee voting.
