Americans are in the final stretch of this election cycle. In less than two weeks, we will complete the process of casting our ballots and fulfilling our constitutional right and duty to electing our government leaders.
Voters have more options than ever before. Those wanting to skip the lines on election day can either vote through the mail or vote during one of the predetermined days leading up to the election.
For Lowell voters, depending in which precinct your residence falls, you will need to go to one of our area’s polling locations or make sure your absentee ballot is mailed to its proper location. Here are the three main voting locations — and their clerks — for those residing in Lowell, Michigan
Lowell City Hall – Susan Ullery
301 East Main Street
Lowell Township Hall – Monica Burtt
2910 Alden Nash Ave. SE
Vergennes Township Hall – Shantell Ford
69 Lincoln Lake Ave. NE
Absentee Ballot Voting
Absentee voting is currently underway. An absentee ballot can be mailed in, placed in an on-site, secure drop box, or hand delivered to the voter’s polling place up until voting ends on election day. Absentee ballots can be requested for any reason.
Early Voting
Early voting is the newest voting option. Voters can go to their regular polling location and cast their vote just as they would on election day.
Early voting will be Oct. 26 until Nov. 3
- 8 am to 4 pm in Lowell Township and the City of Lowell
- 9 am – 5 pm in Vergennes Township
There is no early voting on Nov. 4.
Election Day Voting – Nov. 5
Voters may register to vote up to and on election day by visiting their local clerk’s office with proof of residency documentation. Online voter registration is now closed.
On Tuesday, Nov. 5, polls will be open from 7 am until 8 pm for in-person voting throughout Michigan.
Each precinct will have poll workers to help guide voters through the process of receiving and submitting their ballot. There will also be a group of election inspectors facilitating the counting of absentee ballots during election day.
Lowell City Clerk Sue Ullery says she is confident her precinct will run smoothly on election day. The city has doubled the number of workers on Nov. 5 from 10 to 20.
“We have been busy preparing for the upcoming election. All of our election inspectors have been certified and trained. We have doubled our inspectors from other elections and feel confident the day will run smoothly,” Ullery says.
Regardless of how you plan to cast your ballot, make it a priority to exercise your right to vote in the 2024 election.
