1. Can anyone vote a no-reason mail-in ballot (Absentee Ballot)?

Yes.  On November 6, 2018, Michigan voters approved proposal 3, which contained measures to make voting more accessible and secure, including a provision that allows voters to obtain a mail-in ballot without providing a reason. Before that, voters in Michigan could only request a mail-in ballot if they could meet one of six criteria as an “absent voter”, such as being 60 years or older or expecting to be out of town on Election Day.
