To vote in an election, a resident must register. To become registered to vote, you can visit the township office, register online, or at any Secretary of State branch office if you are 18 or older and are a legal citizen.
The clerk's office will be open from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. the Saturday before each election.
Want to avoid going out in the cold and standing in line? Request to be on our Permanent AV Ballot Application List. What does this mean? Prior to every election you will receive in the mail an application for an AV Ballot. If you wish to receive a ballot by mail, simply complete the application and return it and a ballot will be sent. If you want to vote in the polls for that election, then do not return that application and show up at the polls on election day.
