Voting begins in Michigan. Here's what you need to know [View all]

Welcome to the first week of voting in Michigan!

Yes, we may still be a little more than five weeks away from Election Day but absentee ballots are being sent out this week.

Election season has drastically changed in length over recent years with the addition and expansion of no-reason absentee balloting in Michigan and new early in-person voting options… all because Michigan voters approved changes to the state’s constitution in both 2018 and 2022.

So, we figured there wasn’t a better time to do an Absentee Ballot 101 and there wasn’t a better teacher than Chris Thomas. Thomas was Michigan’s long-time Elections Director, holding the role for nearly forty years through both Republican and Democratic administrations. It’s fair to say there are few people in Michigan who know more about the process of voting than him.
