Richland Township Registered Voters
Absentee Ballot Automatic Absent Voter List
ith the passage of Proposal 3 in November of 2018, voting by absentee is now easier than ever as receiving an absentee ballot no longer requires voters to provide a reason for requesting an absentee ballot. The Richland Township Clerk's Office now maintains an Automatic Absent Voter List in order to assist voters with receiving ballots in a prompt manner. All voters on the Automatic Absent Voter List are automatically sent an absentee ballot application for each election scheduled in the Township of Richland. From this automatic absent voter list, absentee voter applications are mailed out 6-8 weeks prior to each election. If you would like to be placed on our Automatic Absent Voter List, forms are available at the Richland Township Office or by emailing the Richland Township Clerk at rhrichlandgov@gmail.com, with your name, address, and year of birth.
Beginning October 1, 2020, residents will need to present a REAL ID-compliant document to fly in the U.S. and enter certain federal facilities under federal law. Learn more about obtaining a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or state ID at Michigan.gov/REALID
