Don’t forget to Vote (From Home) in Tuesday’s elections

This coming Tuesday, May 5, many Michigan communities have municipal and school elections scheduled, including several important millage and bond measures.  In light of the public health crisis, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson sent every voter in the May election an Absent Voter Ballot Application to ensure people stay healthy while exercising their right to vote.  Please remember to cast your ballot by returning it to your local clerk by Tuesday – if you still need an absentee ballot, you can visit www.mea.org/VoteFromHome to get an application you can take to your local clerk to get a ballot.
