Yay, I got a USPS notification that my absentee ballot will arrive today.

I can't wait to fill it out and drop it off at the Township office on Wednesday after I take Rosie in for her allergy shot.

I think that scanners (for DHS) send out notices, but the mail may not arrive at or from your post office, before or after the daily cutoff.

I wait a day, but YMMV. Good luck! Go Blue!

They don't advertise, but all items are scanned.
It once took 2 or 3 days for an item to go from one PO Box to another a few feet away.
The joys of living in the boondocks.
Go Blue!

The Michigan voter information page said they were mailed on the 26th, I called Burton elections and they said that is when they were mailed to them. I am sure they are getting a lot of calls, I told her that with this important election I do not want to get nervous about my ballot. Looking at any day now, I will drop mine off at city hall.
