The Michigan Department of State recently announced the launch of a new online option to better serve the needs of military and overseas voters. The new system launched publicly on September 15.
Developed in line with the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), the Electronic Delivery and Return Portal (EDARP) delivers ballots electronically to eligible voters and allows eligible overseas active military members the option to mark and return an absentee ballot to their clerk’s office electronically through a secure online portal.
Previously, Michigan’s military voters stationed away from home, including overseas, received their ballot electronically but were only permitted to return the ballot by mail, creating the potential for increased delays in ballot tabulation.
Registered overseas voters who maintain a permanent residence in Michigan may also access the portal to view and print their ballots to complete and mail to their local clerk. The new portal is accessible through Michigan’s MILogin system, a single sign-on platform run by the State of Michigan’s Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) that provides secure online access to various state services and applications.
