Early Absent Voter Ballot Processing & Tabulating for November 2024 General Election

Early Absent Voter Ballot Processing & Tabulating
Friday, November 1, and Saturday, November 2, 2024
* Beginning at 9:00am and completed no later than 4:00pm

For the November 2024 General Election, all communities are allowed to authorize an AV counting board (AVCB) to process and tabulate absent voter (AV) ballots on the Monday before Election Day. Cities and townships with a population of at least 5,000, and cities and townships with a combined AVCB, may process and tabulate AV ballots on any of the 8 days before Election Day. Processing and tabulating AV ballots is separate from tabulation of ballots at an early voting site and replaces any AV ballot “pre processing” previously established in Michigan election law.
