Question of the Month:
What can I do if I am unable to vote in the
General Election on Tuesday, November 5?
All registered voters are eligible to vote absentee if you have met the photo ID rule when you registered to vote. Absentee voting applications are available now, and the ballots are available 45 days prior to each election. Once you have made your selections on the ballot, your sealed return ballot envelope needs to be signed and dated and then returned to the Clerk's office or the official absentee ballot drop box no later than 8:00 p.m. on election day.
Another option is to come to the township office during early voting, which runs every day from October 26 through November 3 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This is similar to voting on election day as you will be issued a ballot and then be able to run it through the tabulator after it is completed.
If you have any questions, the clerk can be reached by calling the township office at 616-754-5679.
