Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumJust heard on NPR - if you absentee voted for Pete, in Michigan, you can void and revote
They said to go to the **post office to complete the process. You have until Saturday to do this.
I'm looking for more details. Nothing on the Michigan Secretary of State site, but I don't think NPR made this up, out of whole cloth.
If I find any other details, I'll amend and add.
** Here is a link for information. Either NPR was wrong about the Post Office, or I was having a 'senior moment'.

(26,260 posts)because going to the SOS office would be a nightmare. Without an appointment, it's a half day experience.
Maybe the post office has the forms, there, so you can complete and mail them, immediately.

(25,467 posts)"Voters can submit a written request to their local clerk by mail by 2 p.m. on March 7, the Saturday before the primary. The request must specify whether the voter would like to receive a new absentee ballot or whether they will instead come in and vote at the polls on election day. The request must also be signed.
A voter can also request to spoil their voted absentee ballot in person at their clerks office until 4 p.m. on March 9."

(26,260 posts)Unless dementia family curse is taking an early hold of my brain, that's what I heard. I'm wondering if they just have the forms necessary.

(18,402 posts)Michigan residents have time to recast their absentee ballot if they already voted for a candidate who dropped out of the presidential primary since early voting began in late-January.
Michigan law gives voters who turned in an absentee ballot the option to "spoil their ballot and obtain a new one, providing a second chance to pick a candidate who is still in the race. This can be done by submitting a request to a local clerk before election day on March 10.

I'm now two cups into my day and my brain is finally awake and firing on most cylinders.
