To the Qualified Electors of Ray Township,

Everyone will receive a NEW voter identification card by mail based upon redistricting. Watch your mailbox.
The Clerk’s Office is ALWAYS open the Saturday before an election for absentee voting. You can request an absentee ballot at the Clerk’s Office up to 4:00 p.m., the Monday before an election.
An absentee ballot will only be sent upon receipt of a signature verified application. An application can be requested by contacting the Clerk’s Office.
Your signature will be verified against your driver’s license signature or the signature on file.
If you rely on the mail, allow ample time for your application or ballot to arrive at the Clerk’s Office. Better yet, use the Township drop.
Sample ballots for each election will be available at the Clerk’s Office or online at the Michigan Voter Information Center (Michigan.gov/vote). You can also track your absentee ballot application and ballot at the same website.
For the State Primary, you may only vote one side (party) on the ballot, or your partisan section will not count.
DON’T FORGET TO SIGN AND DATE YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT ENVELOPE!

Thank you for voting!
Lori R. Lascoe, MiPMC
Ray Township Clerk
