Last Day to Pick up Absentee Ballot in Dearborn is Saturday

The Dearborn City Clerk's office will be open from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. to accommodate early voters.

A large voter turnout and extraordinarily long ballot for the Nov. 6 election means that would-be voters' best bet to avoid long lines this election is to vote absentee.

“I’m encouraging qualified voters to apply for an absentee ballot,” said City Clerk Kathy Buda. “That will allow them to feel less rushed and to thoroughly read the ballot.”

Buda said that more than 8,000 Dearborn residents have already voted absentee in this election.
