Permanent Absentee Voter List

If you would like to receive a ballot by mail for every election, you may add your name to our list of Permanent Absentee voters. If you choose to join this list, you will receive an absentee ballot application in the mail approximately 45 days prior to each election.

You may join the Permanent Absentee List by simply calling our office at (616) 846-2210 OR by completing this form and returning it to our office.   AV Perm request

Voters who wish to join do not need to provide a reason for requesting an absentee ballot.

Voters on the Permanent Absentee List do not have to vote by mail. If you would prefer to vote in person for a particular election, do not complete the absentee ballot application. Instead, simply vote in person at your precinct between the hours of 7 am and 8 pm on Election Day. Voting in person will not remove your name from the Permanent List; however, you may remove your name at any time by contacting our office.
