In Michigan, voting by absentee ballot already started on September 29. So it's time to get started.
I believe that EVERY community should have a turnout of 80% or more in this election. Towards that end, I have established a Voter turnout challenge for our 8 Next Door communities (Berkley, Ferndale, Huntington Woods, Lathrup Village, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Southfield), see http://natpernick.blogspot.com/2022/08/22-august-2022-this-years-southeast.html, but every community should try to get as high a voter turnout as possible.
To register to vote in Michigan, you must be:
* A U.S. citizen
* 18 years old when you vote
* A Michigan resident for at least 30 days
* Not currently serving a sentence in jail or prison

All Michigan voters have the right to choose to vote in person at their polling place on Election Day or by absentee ballot by mail or in person at their clerk's office. Voters are not required to provide a reason to vote absentee.
Deadlines:
October 24, 2022: Last day to request an absentee ballot online or by mail. This is also the suggested last day to return absentee ballot by mail to avoid potential for mailing delays. Or you can drop off your ballot at the clerk's office.
October 25 through 8:00 p.m. November 8, 2022: In-person registration with local clerk with proof of residency.
November 8, 2022: Election day is Tuesday, November 8: Polls are open from 7 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Return absentee ballot to your designated drop box or local clerk’s office by hand
by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 8.
