Voters can apply for an absentee ballot for the February 2024 election in all the usual ways: online (with a current Michigan driver’s license or state ID card), completing a paper application in person at their city or township clerk’s office, or mailing a completed paper application to their city or township clerk. Any Michigan voter can vote in the Presidential Primary election – they do not have to be a member of a political party. However, to vote in the Presidential Primary, voters DO have to choose a ballot, either a Republican ballot, a Democratic ballot, or a ballot without the presidential primary.
