A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled “Michigan election law,” by amending section 759 (MCL 168.759), as amended by 2020 PA 302.
Permits electors to apply for an absent voter ballot from 75 days before an election until 8 p.m. on election day, either in person or by mail through the city or township clerk. It outlines authorized individuals who can handle a signed application, including the applicant, their immediate family, household members, mail carriers within their job duties, a chosen registered elector, or authorized election officials. Clerks are mandated to always have application forms available and to provide them upon request, with applications requiring a U.S. citizenship certification and the applicant's address, alongside a warning about the felony penalty for submitting false information.
