Any Michigan voter can cast an absentee ballot in Tuesday’s presidential primary, but the deadline to get that ballot is 4 p.m. Monday, March 9.

And that ballot must be obtained in person from a local election clerk -- not the county clerk or a Secretary of State office.

Voters will be asked to present a valid photo ID when obtaining an absentee ballot at the clerk’s office, and the ballot must be filled in and returned on the spot.

For those who already have an absentee ballot but have yet to turn it in, the local election clerk must have it in hand by 8 p.m. Tuesday. Postmarks don’t count. The law requires election officials to throw out absentee ballots that arrive in the mail after Election Day.

Tuesday’s election includes the Democratic and Republican primaries, as well as a vote on a number of local proposals and initiatives..

The Democrats have 15 names on the ballot, although 12 candidates have dropped out. The active candidates are former Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii.

There are four candidates on the Republican ballot, including President Trump, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, and former congressmen Joe Walsh and Mark Sanford. The latter two have dropped out of the race, although their names remain on the ballot.

More than 200 communities, school districts and counties have various tax proposals and initiatives on the ballot, including a request by The Detroit Institute of Arts to renew a 0.2-mill levy on property owners in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties

Michigan residents can see if there are any proposals in their community by previewing their ballot at michigan.gov/vote. By putting in your name, birth date and ZIP Code, you can see a copy of the ballot at your precinct.

Here’s what else voters need to know for the upcoming election.

Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

If you need to double-check your polling place, look online at www.michigan.gov/vote and type in your name and birth month and year under “Voter information.” That search will yield a map of your polling place.

There is still time to register to vote.

As a result of Proposal 3, Michigan residents now can register to vote up to and including Election Day.

You must go to a city or township election office Monday or Tuesday to register, and you can vote at the same time.

To be eligible to vote, the person must be a U.S. citizen age 18 or older. To verify residency, the person must present a Michigan’s driver’s license, state identification card, current utility bill, a bank statement, a pay check, a government check or current government document. The document must have the person’s name and current address.

For the presidential primary, you must specify whether you want a Democratic or Republican ballot.

Voters must choose between participating in the Democratic or Republican primary, and pick which ballot they want.

There’s also an option for voters who don’t wish to participate in either primary, but are casting a vote for local proposals or candidates on the March 10 ballot.

If you search by your name at michigan.gov/vote, you can see a preview of your specific ballot.

If you lose your absentee ballot or change your mind on how to vote, you can get a new ballot.

Do you misplace your absentee ballot? Has your favorite candidate dropped out? Or maybe you handed in your absentee ballot but changed your mind on how to vote?

If you lost your ballot, you can obtain a new ballot from your city or township clerk before 4 p.m. Monday, or you can go to your polling place on Election Day.

If you changed your mind on how to vote, go to your county clerk before 4 p.m. Monday so they can pull the original ballot you turned in and issue a new one. If you marked an absentee ballot but haven’t handed it in, you can exchange it for a new one.
