MI-SD35: Midland begins mailing absentee ballots for May special election
MIDLAND, MI – The Midland City Clerk’s Office began distributing absentee ballots Friday for the May 5 special election, reaching registered voters who have requested them.
Ballots went out to voters on the Permanent Absent Ballot Mailing list and those who submitted absentee ballot applications. Voters can track their ballot status at www.Michigan.gov/vote.
The ballots arrive in white envelopes marked with a blue stripe on the left side and labeled “Official Election Mail.” Each package includes the ballot, a secrecy sleeve, instructions, and a postage-paid return envelope in white and purple that requires a signature.
Midland voters have three options for returning completed ballots. They can mail the signed and sealed return envelope through the United States Postal Service, use one of three official ballot drop boxes available around the clock, or deliver their ballot to their polling location on election day.
