Detroit Free Press Are you one of the roughly million Michiganders who have already voted by mail this year, but unsure whether&nbsp;your local clerk received your ballot?&nbsp;There are several quick and effective ways to verify your ballot has been received before the polls close on Election Day. And even if it hasn't arrived at the clerk's office yet, you still have options.&nbsp;More:More:You sure can! The Michigan Secretary of State's Office has a website that allows voters to see whether they are registered, review a sample ballot, verify their polling place and to track absentee ballots.&nbsp;Go to . On the site, you can search by name or driver's license number to pinpoint information about your ballot.&nbsp;If you are registered to vote and have cast a ballot, the site should show you:&nbsp;Never fear, there's still time!&nbsp;If you mailed your ballot at least two weeks before Election Day, there's still a fairly good chance it will be received by your clerk before the deadline, 8 p.m. Tuesday. Clerks anticipate receiving many ballots over the weekend, so the online system could update by Monday or even on Tuesday to&nbsp;show that your ballot was received.&nbsp;More:More:At this point, you have several options. There's still time to call your local clerk, or go to your clerk's office in person. Regardless of your ballot status, the location of your clerk's office should show up on the website.&nbsp;If you're truly concerned your ballot won't make it on time, you can always spoil the ballot. That just means telling the clerk you want to void a ballot you previously cast and cast a new one; it's pretty typical in primary elections, especially if people vote&nbsp;very early and the candidate they voted for drops out of a race.&nbsp;With it being&nbsp;so close to Election Day, it's safest to go to your clerk's office in person and tell them you want to spoil your ballot. You have until 4 p.m. Monday to go in person to your clerk to spoil your ballot.&nbsp;Once it's spoiled, you can either request a new absentee ballot or vote in person, either early or&nbsp;on Election Day.&nbsp;“By safely voting in person this weekend at their clerk’s office, voters can cast their ballot early and beat the Election Day rush,” Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said in a news release Friday. “I highly encourage voters to take advantage of their right to cast their ballot at their clerk’s office before Election Day.”Polls open 7 a.m. Tuesday and close at 8 p.m.&nbsp;Contact Dave Boucher: dboucher@freepress.com or 313-938-4591.
