Voter Information
Dear Voter,
Woodhull Township is discontinuing our Permanent Absent Voter Application List.
Beginning with the next election, we will no longer be sending AV Ballot Applications to you automatically before every election.
Instead, state law gives you the option to join the Permanent Mail Ballot List and receive an AV ballot for every future election that you are eligible to vote in. If you join this list, you won’t need to apply for a ballot for each election — it will be sent to you automatically.
If you want to vote an AV ballot in an election, you can submit an AV ballot application in any of the following ways:
Request your clerk mail you an AV ballot application or download an AV ballot application from Michigan.gov/Elections, and return it by mail, email, or in-person
Submit an online AV ballot application at Michigan.gov/Vote
Join the Permanent Mail Ballot List by marking the box on an AV ballot application “I want to vote absentee in all future elections. Automatically send me an absent voter ballot for every election.”
Also, please update us whenever your mailing address changes so you don’t get removed from the permanent ballot list. If we mail you a ballot and it gets returned to us as undeliverable, we automatically remove you from the permanent ballot list and you will need to re-join.
For voters who spend significant time away from their registration address (snowbirds, college students, etc.), your AV ballot will be mailed to your voter registration address or primary mailing address listed in our system unless you notify us of a new mailing address prior to each election. Your ballot will not be forwarded, so update your mailing address before you travel.
