The City of Livonia has installed ballot drop boxes in several locations across the City.

In November 2022, the voters of Michigan overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment (Prop 2) that, among other things, provides the right to state-funded drop boxes. The drop box is a secure, locked structure that voters may use for the return of completed absentee ballot applications and voted absentee ballots. The constitutional amendment requires all cities and townships to have at least one drop box. Larger cities and townships must have at least one drop box for every 15,000 registered voters. 

Drop boxes must be and are accessible 24 hours a day/7 days a week during the 40 days prior to an election up to 8 p.m. on Election Day. Drop boxes must be and are securely locked and bolted down, and they must be designed to prevent the removal of absentee ballots and applications, except by authorized election officials. In addition, all Livonia drop boxes have video surveillance.

Voters may only use the drop boxes that are located in their jurisdiction of residence. If you vote in Livonia, your ballot must be dropped in a Livonia ballot box.
