What's new?
In November, 2022, the voters of Michigan passed Proposal 2 which amended the Michigan Constitution and enhanced voters' options for voting. In the first half of 2023, the Michigan Legislature passed a series of bills, that were subsequently signed by the Governor, to implement Proposal 2 throughout Michigan. The voters of Troy saw these new options in place beginning with the November 7, 2023 City General Election. A few of the most prominent new options are:

  • 9 Days of Early Voting: Voters are able to vote and tabulate their ballots at the Early Voting Center located inside the Troy Community Center for 9 days before each Election Day
  • Permanent Mail Ballot: Voters are allowed to complete one application, then the City Clerk's Office will automatically mail their absentee ballots before each election (unless the voter moves from Michigan, or is no longer eligible to vote)
  • Voters are allowed to personally tabulate their absentee ballots at the Early Voting Center inside the Troy Community Center, or at their voting precinct on Election Day
