Proposal 2022-2 amended the Michigan Constitution to include a voter’s right to receive updates on the status of their absent voter (AV) ballot applications and ballots, including by electronic notification.  

While status updates for this have been and continue to be available to voters on Michigan.gov/Vote, an electronic notification system is now available for the 2024 November election and beyond!

Voters can now subscribe to receive electronic notifications at Michigan.gov/Vote directly, when registering to vote, or when submitting an online AV application. Voters will then receive emails when the status of their AV application or ballot is updated.  

Here are the key points of information you should know: 

• Voters can now sign up for email notifications on the status of their AV Ballots and applications through Michigan.gov/Vote.   
• Once subscribed, voters will be notified of all the following: 
• When their AV ballot or application has been received by their local clerk,  
• When their AV ballot has been sent by their local clerk, 
• If their AV ballot or application has been rejected for any deficiency, 
• Instructions for how the voter can remedy a deficiency to have their AV ballot or application accepted.   
  
• Once a voter has subscribed, they will receive an email every time their AV ballot or application status is changed).   
• If the voter wishes to be removed from the electronic notification list, the voter must unsubscribe themselves either by following the “unsubscribe” link in the email, or by visiting Michigan.gov/Vote. 
• Whether subscribed or not, voters will continue to be able to see status updates on their AV ballot or application by visiting Michigan.gov/Vote.
