Voting/Elections

Are you registered to vote in Superior Charter Township?

If you are not sure, you can go to Michigan Votes and follow the directions to check.

Or e-mail me, Kay Williams, Clerk, at kaywilliams@superior-twp.org, or call me at 734-482-6099 and I will check and let you know.

Absent Voter Ballots

If you are expecting to be out of the community on Election Day, are over 60 years of age, or disabled, you may apply for an Absent Voter Ballot. You may use a pre-printed form or send a letter requesting the AV Ballot. The law states that you must:

  1. give the reason for needing the ballot
  2. state where you want the ballot sent
  3. sign the request (must be an original signature)
  4. date the request.

Send the request to:

Kay Williams
Superior Township Clerk
3040 N. Prospect
Ypsilanti, MI 48198

or come into the Township Hall before the Election and fill out an application and pick up an AV Ballot at the same time.

Absent Voter Ballots are available until 2:00 p.m. the Saturday preceding the election.

The Clerk’s Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Office is also open for Absent Voter Ballot requests on the Saturday preceding each election from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The Clerk’s Office will automatically send applications for an Absent Voter Ballot before each election to registered voters who on the Permanent Absent Voter list. If you are 60 or over  and wish to be on the Permanent Absent Voter list, please contact the Clerk's Office - 734-402-6099- or kaywilliams@superior-twp.org. If you are under 60 years of age and wish to be on the Permanent Absent Voter list, you must qualify for one of the above reasons for receiving a ballot. You still must apply for the Absent Voter Ballot for each election. By law, all the Clerk’s Office will do is send the application.
