Absent Voter Ballot Applications
Due to recent court rulings in the State of Michigan, applications for Absent Voter Ballots will not automatically be mailed out to all voters as they have been in the past. The Clerk can no longer automatically send absent voter applications to anyone over 60 years of age.  Persons requiring an absentee ballot must send a written request to the Clerk or telephone the Clerk to make the request.

Notice to All Voters: New Photo I.D. Now Required
Due to recent changes in election law, all voters appearing at the polls must show a government-issued or school-issued photo I.D. prior to voting. In the event that you do not have any valid identification, you will be required to sign an affidavit attesting to that before being allowed to vote.
