Elections are held at the Casco Township Hall:

7:00am - 8:00pm on election day.

Absentee Voting

Applying for a Ballot
Anyone can now vote absentee by filling out an Application for an Absentee Ballot.

You can get an application for a ballot by doing any one of the following:

call the Clerk’s Office and request one (269-637-4441 Ext. 5)
fill the form out online that can be submitted electronically (starting Aug 20)
download & print a .pdf of the application, fill it out and mail it, or bring it into the Clerk's Office
stop by the Clerk’s Office to request one (Tues, Wed 1-4pm, Thurs 9am – 4pm)

Receiving a Ballot
Once you fill out and submit your application, we will send your ballot by mail. If you prefer to bring your application in and pick up your ballot, call to make sure we have ballots before you come in. We should have them around the end of September.

Returning Your Ballot
Once you have completed your ballot, you can return it to the Township Clerk by 8pm on November 3:

United States Postal Service (our mail)
Another delivery service (e.g. FedEx, UPS)
Bring it during open office hours (Tues, Wed 1-4pm, Thurs 9am – 4pm)
Put it in the drop box in the lobby of the Township Hall (open 24/7)

Many people requested a ballot for November when they filled out their Absentee Ballot Application for the March or August election. If that is the case you do not need to re-apply and will be sent your ballot when we receive them, around the end of September.

Any other time you can register to vote by:

Become a Permanent Absent Voter

As a convenience to Casco voters, a list of permanent absent voters is maintained by the Deputy Clerk. As a permanent Absentee voter, you receive an application for an Absentee Ballot ahead of each election.

To become a permanent Absentee voter just call the Clerk's office or send us a note and we can make you a permanent AV voter.
