Michiganders in jurisdictions holding elections May 3 have through April 18 to register to vote online at Michigan.gov/Vote or by mail (postmarked by April 18). After this deadline, eligible citizens may still register in person at their city or township clerk’s office with proof of residency through Election Day.
“Registering to vote online is an easy and secure step to participating in our democracy,” said Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. “And participating in local elections is an important way to strengthen your community.”
Allegan, Cass and Van Buren Counties are holding several local elections in May. There are none scheduled in Berrien County.
Citizens who plan to vote with an absentee ballot are encouraged to submit their applications to do so as soon as possible online, by mail, or by visiting their local clerk’s office. If they visit the office in person they can receive and submit the absentee ballot in the same trip.
Residents who already received their absentee ballot are encouraged to complete it and return it to their clerk’s office or ballot drop box as soon as possible.
Voters can find more information on elections in their jurisdiction, including a sample ballot and list of races and questions, at Michigan.gov/Vote.
