Absentee Ballots Available Across Michigan, Idaho Ahead November 4 Elections

Absentee ballots are now available for the upcoming November 4 local elections in multiple regions including Nez Perce County, Idaho, and various locations throughout Michigan such as Detroit, Dearborn, Taylor, and Auburn Hills. Voters can request absentee ballots through online portals, by mail, or in person at local election offices, with deadlines for requesting ballots typically set a few days before Election Day. In Michigan, voters are advised to submit mail-in ballots early to avoid postal delays, and absentee ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. Michigan's local elections are notable for Detroit's mayoral race between Mary Sheffield and Pastor Solomon Kinloch Jr., alongside other key city and school district elections. Additionally, Connecticut's Darien town has opened an online absentee ballot request portal for voters unable to attend in person due to various valid reasons. Overall, these measures aim to facilitate voter participation and ensure election accessibility across multiple states.
