Update Clerk Contact Information in QVF & Merit Election Email Forwarding
We recommend that all Clerks take a look at their Clerk Contact Information in QVF this time of year. This information is used in many capacities (MVIC, FVAP, etc.) to provide your voters your contact information.
In addition, verify your Merit Election Email account is forwarding to the appropriate staff members.
The following reference material is available to assist:
If you are not a QVF user, work with your County Clerk to complete these steps.
Remember, if you have new staff members and/or staff changes, please be sure to complete the Election Account Request form so we can activate and deactivate eLearning and QVF/EMP accounts accordingly.
School Election Plans
School District Election
Coordinating Committees must meet in January or early
February of 2017. MCL 168.305(2) requires
School District Election Coordinating Committees to meet every four years to
review and, if necessary, alter the election arrangements set forth in its
previous report. This report must be sent to the Bureau of Elections for
each school district, regardless if any changes were made or not. These meetings are organized by the
election coordinator. For school districts located in more than one city
or township, the election coordinator is the County Clerk where the largest
number of school district electors reside. For school districts wholly
contained in a single city or township, the election coordinator is the clerk
of the city or township where the district is located.
It is important to review the challenges of your current plans
and adjust accordingly. The Bureau of Elections has been invited to present on this topic
January 24th at the MACC conference in Bay City. In
the meantime, please
review the 2017 School District Election Coordinating Committee Meeting Guide. You may also find basic School Election Coordinating Committee Plan
templates at the following links:

about School Election Plans may be directed to Kristi Dougan at dougank@michigan.gov To submit
your plans to the Secretary of State, please email the documents to elections@michigan.gov including your
County Name and School Plan in the subject line.
