LANSING, Mich. — It’s now easier for Michigan voters to request an absentee ballot by going online. 

The new function lets people visit a state website and submit their driver’s license number and the last four digits of their Social Security number. 

They can digitally use the signature they provided for their driver’s license or state ID card. 

The completed application will go to the voter’s local clerk. 

Voters already could go to the website, fill out an application, scan it and then email it. Or they could mail it in.
