Upcoming Elections

• State Primary - August 4, 2026
• State General - November 3, 2026

Early Voting Information

Early voting is open (9) consecutive days beginning on the second Saturday before the election.  Early voting is 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (except Thursday, from noon – 8 p.m.) in Park & Recreation Room 115.

No Campaigning at the Polls

Pursuant to Michigan Election Law, all campaigning on Election Day must be at least 100 feet from any doorway used by voters to enter the polling place. Campaign buttons, hats, clothing with candidate names or campaign slogans, must be covered or removed when entering the polling place.

Photo ID Requirement to Vote

Due to a recent court ruling, all Michigan voters must show current photo identification before voting at the polls. Voters can satisfy the picture identification requirement by showing a current Michigan driver's license or personal identification card. A voter who is unable to show picture identification can vote after signing an affidavit attesting that he or she is not in possession of picture identification.

Last Day to Register

Mailed applications must be postmarked 15 days before election day. From the 14th day before the election through Election Day, registration must be done in person at the City Clerk's Office, including on Election Day.
