It’s the summer of 2019 and the last thing you’re thinking about is heading to the polls in a little over a week to vote. Guess again! There are numerous townships, school districts, libraries, cities, and other important local elections coming up and you need to go vote if you live in one of these districts. Click on the happy voter over in the upper right-hand corner and you will be taken to the Secretary of State’s list of counties holding elections on August 6, 2019.

Elections in Michigan are much different than they used to be. Michigan voters wanted voting to be easier, and now you can vote using an absentee ballot for the rest of your life for no other reason than the convenience of voting by mail. Not registered to vote? You can do that on August 6, 2019, if you need to. No picture ID? No problem! You can sign an affidavit and vote with a provisional ballot. It will be counted because it’s the law.

So check the list of counties holding elections this August 6, 2019, and get out there and vote!
