Election information
“Consolidated elections” is an expression used to describe a nine bill package
signed into law by the Governor on January 8, 2004. Beginning on January 1,
2005, the new laws will affect a wide variety of broad and sweeping changes in
Michigan’s elections system:
The conduct of all federal, state, county, city, township, village and school
elections will be restricted to four dates each year: the fourth Tuesday in
February and the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May, August and
November. Exceptions are provided for.
School elections are now conducted by local units of government and the
polling locations are printed on your voter identification card, and below.
State, national, and local elections are held in even number years. These are
administered by the Township Clerk and are held at the Township polling
location.
