Please do not request an absentee ballot if you do not intend to vote it!  - You can view sample ballots at What's on the ballot? (state.mi.us) or www.hwmi.org or visit City Hall to view the ballot.

If you do not receive your ballot by mail, please if at all possible contact the clerk’s office prior to election day to obtain a new one.  If your ballot still does not arrive by election day, visit the proper precinct to complete the process of cancelling your absentee ballot and voting in person!
