Absentee Ballots

by Dave Lambert on Tue 31 Oct 2006 11:31 AM PST

Individuals wishing to obtain an absentee ballot for the November 7 General Election still have time to do so.

Requests for absentee ballots must be received no later than Saturday, November 4, at 2 p.m. Request for an absentee ballot can be obtained by calling the Troy City Clerk at (248)524-3316.

Once a request is received by the Clerk, the voter signature on the request will be checked against his or her voter registration record before a ballot is issued. A person must be a registered voter to obtain an absentee ballot.

If a sudden illness, family death or other emergency prevents a voter from reaching the polls, emergency absentee voter ballots are available up to 4 p.m. on Election Day, November 7.

The City Clerk will have more information about emergency absentee voter ballots.
