Absentee Ballot Tracking

MCL 168.764c, requires jurisdictions to use a ballot tracker program to track absentee ballot activity for all elections. Through the Michigan Voter Information Center (MVIC), voters may check the status of their absent voter application and ballot, as well as view their precinct specific ballot, polling location, and map to the polling place.
