Early Absent Voter Ballot Processing & Tabulating for August 2024 State Primary

Early Absent Voter Ballot Processing & Tabulating
Saturday, August 3, 2024
* Beginning at 9:00am and completed no later than 4:00pm

For the August 2024 Primary, 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 “preprocessing” previously established in Michigan election law.
