VOTER INFORMATION

You must be registered to vote in order to participate in any election. You can verify your registration or view your ballot or any election information pertaining to absentee voting or military and overseas voting online on the Michigan Vote website. This website will answer any questions you might have regarding registration and absentee voting. If you are registered, it will give you your voting location address as well as show a sample ballot.
Every Michigan voter who offers to vote in the polls must comply with the requirement by showing picture identification or signing an affidavit attesting that he or she is not in possession of picture identification. (See MCL 168.523 for voter identification requirement.)Voters can satisfy the ID requirement by showing a Michigan driver’s license or a Michigan personal identification card. Voters who do not possess either document may show any of the following forms of picture ID as long as it is current:

• A current or expired Michigan driver’s license or Michigan state ID card.
• A current driver’s license or personal ID card issued by another state.
• Federal, state or local government-issued photo ID.
• A current U.S. passport.
• Military identification card with photo.
• Current photo ID issued by an educational institution
• Tribal identification card with photo.
• Concealed Pistol license

 Michigan election law anticipates that not all voters will have picture ID. Voters who do not have acceptable picture ID or forgot to bring acceptable picture ID to the polls can vote like any other voter by signing an affidavit. 
 Prior to every election, tabulators are accuracy tested. The Public Accuracy Test is conducted to demonstrate that the computer program used to record and count the votes cast in ALL PRECINCTS AND COUNTING BOARDS at the election, meet the requirements of the law. This testing is open to everyone. Information regarding time and date of this test is published in the Allegan County News and also on the Township Website.
