Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation that aims to ensure every vote is counted in the upcoming election. Introduced by Senator Ruth Johnson (R-Holly), the legislation allows clerks in cities or townships with a population of at least 25,000 to begin processing absentee ballots prior to election day, as long as they give notice to the Secretary of State. The Department of State would have to post any written notices on its website, and the clerk would have to post the notice on the city or township website. It would also provide that clerks will notify voters of any reason their vote won’t be counted within 48 hours.
