In Michigan you can opt-in to always get a mail in ballot for every election. Highly recommended.

Applications for absentee voting can be submitted online. It is recommended to apply at least 15 days before the election.

f1.4 is just the max aperture of the lens I used. I think this was shot around 1/15s f11. Not 100% sure on the aperture since I just set the camera to shutter priority.

Nice! I like that you got the pigeon and tree trunk in focus, while the background elements are a little off kilter. Very fun shot!
