ABSENTEE BALLOTS
Absentee voter ballots are available for all elections. They provide voters with a convenient method for casting a ballot when they are unable to attend the polls on Election Day.
An Absentee Ballot Application must be filed prior to receipt of a ballot. Applications are available at the township office or at www.michigan.gov/sos.
Leighton Township also maintains a permanent absentee list for voters who have requested ballot applications sent to them for each election. If you would like to be added to that list, please contact the Clerk.
