Michigan's Presidential Primary election is considered a closed primary, requiring voters to select their party preference of

before receiving a ballot in any manner. Voters who have previously requested to be on the Permanent Ballot List will receive a ballot selection form in the mail from their local clerk. These voters must return this form to indicate which ballot they would like their clerk to send. If a voter on the Permanent Ballot list makes no selection, a ballot will not be mailed to them.
Absentee ballots are expected to be available Jan. 18. |
