Voting Methods

You have options!

Absentee Ballot

An Absentee Ballot (also known as vote-by-mail) is the earliest and most flexible method of voting.

Request your ballot (in person, online, or by mail) and fill it out wherever is convenient — just make sure you return it by your state’s deadline.

I take my time filling out my ballot from the comfort of my shell.

In Ann Arbor

You can pick up your Absentee Ballot at the Campus Voting Hub at UMMA starting October 1st. Be sure to return it to an official City of Ann Arbor drop box by 8pm on Election Day.

Out of State

Look up your state on nass.org for absentee voting instructions — and remember to start early to give your ballot plenty of time to travel by mail!

Early Voting Ballot

Visit an Early Voting Site to get your ballot and cast it on the spot! In Michigan, Early Voting lasts for a minimum of 9 days (starting 10 days before Election Day).

I check vote off my to-do list early so I can get back to my busy bunny schedule!

In Ann Arbor

Both Campus Voting Hubs are Early Voting sites — swing by UMMA or the Dude between Wed, Oct 21–Sun, Nov 1 (open daily 11am–7pm) to get your ballot and vote early!

Election Day has a buzz all its own! Head to your polling location on Election Day to get your ballot and cast your vote.

I rally the group chat for an Election Day Civic Participation Party!
