How Do I...
If you’re a registered Leland Township voter, request an absentee voter application from the clerk, 231-256-7546, ext. 201 or via email clerk@lelandtownship.com. Or apply online. After the completed application is received, the clerk will mail you a ballot, which may be returned by mail or in person and must be received before the polls close on Election Day.
To Receive Absentee Ballots on a Permanent Basis: You may ask the Leland Township clerk to be placed on a list to automatically receive your ballot. The request should be in writing. Alternatively, on the application to vote absentee, there is a box to tick. This will also place you on the permanent absentee ballot list. By ticking this box, you are asking for a ballot to be automatically sent to you for all future elections that you are eligible to vote in.
You are responsible for updating your mailing address to ensure that your ballot is mailed to the correct address. The Clerk's office will send ballots to the address on your voter registration unless otherwise informed.
Please be in touch with any questions about this new convenient way to vote!
