    In Michigan, cities and townships with a population of 5,000 or more can establish an Absentee Voter Counting Board to process and tabulate absentee ballots during one of the eight days before an election between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.

    Cities and municipalities, regardless of their population, may establish an AVCB to process and tabulate absentee ballots on the Monday before the election between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.
