Early Voting - Public Notice to All Registered Electors of Ray Township

Please click EV Public Notice Page 1 AND EV Public Notice Page 2 for notice and information regarding nine days of Early Voting.

Absentee Voting

Michigan in an Absentee Voting state.  This means that registered voters can obtain a ballot before the election, mark their selection and return their ballots to the Clerks Office.  This does not mean that ballots are processed through the tabulator early or that residents can vote early at the Township Hall.  Ballots are securely held (unopened) and processed by certified Election Inspectors on election day.

Registering to Vote

Township residents may register to vote at any Secretary of State Office or at the Township Clerk's office. Register at the Clerk's Office in person with proof of residency up to 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.

Precinct 1 and Precinct 2 are located in the Senior Center, Ray Township Hall, 64255 Wolcott Road.

The polls are open on election days from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

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.
