Absentee Voter Information

Absentee Voter InformationAre you tired of waiting in lines at the precinct to cast your VERY IMPORTANT vote? All registered voters are now eligible to vote absentee if you have met the photo ID rule when you registered to vote. Absentee voting is a method of voting in which you can receive and mark the ballot before Election Day. Here are the highlights:

  • Absentee voting applications are available 75 days before each election. Ballots are available 45 days prior to each election.
  • Submit an application for a ballot to the Township Clerks Office.
  • We will issue a ballot to you once we have your application processed and ballots are available.
  • You can review the candidates and proposals and mark your vote(s) at your leisure.
  • Once you have made your selection(s) on the ballot, seal it in the return ballot envelope. The ballot envelope has to be signed by the voter ONLY.
  • The Clerk's office must receive the ballot no later than 8pm on election day.
  • The absentee voting process can take place in person, by mail, or by using the drop box located by the front doors of the Township Office.
The Absent Voter Processing Board will count the absentee ballots on Election Day. (YES, they do get counted!)

If you want to vote absentee in future elections, we can add you to an absent voter list. We will mail an absentee ballot application to any registered voter who is on this list before each election.

In order to be placed on the Absentee Voter List, you must do ONE of the following:

1) Complete the online ABSENTEE VOTER LIST REQUEST FORM shown on this page.

2) Download the printed ABSENTEE VOTER LIST REQUEST FORM at the link below, fill it out, and mail or bring it to the Township office at Sparta Township, 160 E. Division St., Sparta MI 49345.
