Was Your Ballot Counted In Michigan? Here's How To Check

If you voted by mail in Michigan, there's an easy way to see when it arrived and if it has been counted yet.

MICHIGAN — Were you one of more than 3 million Michigan voters who voted early this year — either through mail or by handing it in early through a drop box? If so, you may be wondering if and when your ballot was received and counted.

In Michigan, voters can check on all of that information online through the Michigan Secretary of State website. Voters can see when their absentee ballot was received and if it has been counted already. As long as your mail-in ballot arrives by Election Day, it will be counted, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has said.
