Livingston County Clerk: Options to 'Spoil' Absentee Ballot Due to Candidate WithdrawalsJuly 23, 2026Nik Rajkovic / news@whmi.comTime is running out to spoil your ballot ahead of Michigan’s primary elections. With in-person early voting starting this Saturday, Hundley says those still hanging on to their mail-in ballot can also spoil it at their local early voting location or Election Day precinct. The deadline to receive an absent voter ballot by mail is 5 p.m. the Friday before the election. However, voters in Howell Township and Cohoctah Township will cast an early ballot at Howell City Hall. Handy Township voters will use an early voting center on Grand River Ave. in Fowlerville.
