Record Number of Absentee Ballots Sent

Jul 17, 2020

With weeks to go before the August 4 state primary, more than 1.6 million absentee ballots have been sent to voters in Michigan. This is more than double the number requested at the same time in 2016. A comparison of a few key points between 2016 and 2020 show the sharp increase in absentee voting, due in large part to the ongoing pandemic:

Number of Applications Received:

    • 21 days before 2016 election: 475,046
    • 21 days before 2018 election: 1,718,384

Number of Ballots Issued:

    • 21 days before 2016 election: 474,989
    • 21 days before 2018 election: 1,673,442

Number of Ballots Returned:

    • 21 days before 2016 election: 134,900
    • 21 days before 2018 election: 323,657
