For those who have elections on August 5th in their jurisdictions, please be aware of the following important dates.
Upcoming Key Dates for the August 5 Election:
Now: Vote in person, with an absentee ballot, at your city or township clerk’s office. Or, if you want to vote from home, request an absentee ballot online or submit a paper application.

July 21: Last day to register to vote online or by mail to vote in the August 5 Primary Election. (Starting July 22, you’ll need to register in person at your city or township clerk’s office with proof of residency.)
