Hello,

Included in this month’s newsletter are the official results of the November 5, 2024 General Election. Should you have questions, please contact Kent County Elections Director Mike Sullivan, at michael.sullivan@kentcountymi.gov or 616-632-7657.

Sincerely,
Lisa Posthumus Lyons
Kent County Clerk/Register of Deeds

Following each election the County Clerk conducts an independent post-election precinct procedural audit. Our office, in conjunction with the State Bureau of Elections, randomly draws a varying number of precincts in the County where we audit a precinct's absentee voter count board and election day process. This audit includes analyzing requirements around pre-election, election inspectors, e-pollbook, voting systems and testing, poll book, ballot containers, and applications to vote. For the November 5, 2024 General Election, there will also be a statewide ballot audit of one statewide race in conjunction with post-election precinct procedural audits. The State Bureau of Elections has yet to announce the precincts chosen for the audit. When this schedule is finalized it will be posted on our website here. 

All committees that participated in the November 5, 2024 General Election must complete a Post-Election Statement for all financial activity from October 21 - November 25. This report is due by 5pm Thursday, December 5. For a calendar of the full 2024 campaign finance schedule click here.
