Do you have a plan for voting?
What do you need to know about voting in a primary? Voters are reminded that they can only cast votes for candidates in one party in a primary election. Voting for candidates from more than one party invalidates the partisan section of the ballot. Be sure to look for the non-partisan and proposal sections.
- Check on your registration status and find your polling place: http://www.michigan.gov/vote
- Learn about the candidates: http://www.VOTE411.org
- Help friends and family members vote
Do you have a problem getting to the polls? Voters who qualify may cast an absentee ballot: if you are over age 60, physically unable, going to be absent from the community, working as an election inspector, in jail awaiting arraignment or trial, unable for religious reasons. Absentee ballots can be obtained from your local clerk up until 4 PM on the Monday before the election and they must be received by the clerk by 8 PM on Election Day.
