Absentee Voting
East Bay Township Clerks office encourages voters to drop off completed ballots to the township.
Please consider using one of our two secure drop boxes located at the Township Hall and Station #9.
There is the drop box slot under our information window at the front entrance and,
new this year, the secure drive up drop box on the sidewalk at the Township Hall and
a second secure drop box located at Station #9 at 110 High Lake Road.
Each is monitored for applications, and ballots.
Please, do not leave items in the black metal envelope receptacle
at the front door attached to the brick half wall.
This is NOT a secure drop box.
It holds blank envelopes for absentee voter applications
and tax payments in before placing them into a secure drop box.
If you must mail your ballot to the township, consider mailing it as soon as it is voted.
At times, the mail may take longer due to the volume of mail being sent for processing.
All ballots must be received no later than 8:00 P.M. (Election Day) in order to be counted.
Any registered voter is eligible to obtain an absentee ballot for an upcoming election.
To receive an absentee ballot, voters must request one from the Clerk in writing or in person .
However, you may request the Absentee Ballot Application Form over the phone.
You may request an absentee voter ballot in person during regular business hours
and on the Saturday before the election from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
Be prepared to present your photo ID as we are only allowed to hand the voter their ballot.
The Absentee Ballot Application Form can be supplied by the Clerk
and through the Secretary of State web site.
The application must include a signature and registration address.
Applications can be submitted in-person, mail, fax or email.
This application must be completed and returned to
the Township Clerk office in order to receive an absentee voter ballot.
We cannot send out a ballot without a completed application.

If you are going to be away and wish to have your ballot sent elsewhere,
list that address and the dates you will be there in the space provided on the application.
Ballots are not forwarded by the post office.
