MAY 5, 2020 ELECTION : SPECIAL RULES IN PLACE
ONLY GRAND HAVEN SCHOOL DISTRICT VOTERS HAVE AN ELECTION
Because of an emergency executive order issued by the Governor (Executive Order 2020-27), the election on Tuesday, May 5, is being conducted primarily by mail to limit possible exposure to COVID-19.
The Secretary of State strongly encourages voters in the Grand Haven School District to cast ballots by mail.
Limited in-person voting is still available for voters who are unable to vote an absent voter ballot, or who may have a disability or condition that prevents them from voting absentee without special assistance. There will not be a traditional polling place, but there will be one in-person voting station in the township office that will be outfitted with ballot issuance capabilities and a Voter Assist Terminal.
Please use the front entry drop box to return your absent voter ballot by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.
The Bureau of Elections has been working with local election clerks to conduct a secure election that protects the health and safety of election workers and the public.
Burning Ban Lifted

Important Notice to West Ottawa School District Voters
*ATTENTION*
VOTERS IN THE WEST OTTAWA SCHOOL DISTRICT
THIS MESSAGE APPLIES ONLY TO WEST OTTAWA SCHOOL DISTRICT VOTERS
Earlier this week you may have received a letter from the Michigan Secretary of State.
The Michigan Secretary of State inadvertently included West Ottawa voters in their Absent Voter Application mailing for the May 5, 2020 Special Election, pursuant to Executive Order No. 2020-27. This mailing was intended for Grand Haven School District voters ONLY. The West Ottawa Public School district does NOT have a May election. PLEASE DISCARD THE LETTER AND APPLICATION.
West Ottawa Voters: Do NOT mail or return the application to the township as it will increase the workload of both election staff and postal workers unnecessarily.
Michigan’s Bureau of Elections apologizes for this error, inconvenience and any confusion its mailing may have caused.
