Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed Senate Bill 757, which will allow clerks in certain cities or townships to begin processing absentee ballots prior to Election Day on Nov. 3.
Under the bill, clerks would be able to notify voters of any reason their vote won’t be counted within 48 hours. The governor signed the bill alongside Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.
SB 757 would amend the Michigan Election Law to allow clerks in cities or townships with a population of at least 25,000 to perform certain absent voter ballot pre-processing activities prior to Election Day, as long as they give notice of that action to the Secretary of State at least 20 days before Election Day.
This provision would apply only for the Nov. 3, 2020, general election, according to the press release.
