Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson joined local
residents today at Highland Township’s “Voting
Rocks!” event, which was hosted by local Clerk Tami Flowers and Deputy Clerk Dawn Mecklenborg at the township’s public library.
“Our next big election is just weeks away,” Johnson told
attendees, referring to the statewide primary on August 7. “Today’s event is so
valuable for getting people engaged and thinking about the election. It’s going
to be a long ballot, so we’re telling people to do your research and know
before you go.”
During her remarks, Johnson highlighted the Michigan Voter
Information Center, the state’s online resource at Michigan.gov/vote where voters can view
their ballot ahead of time, find their voting location and much more.
Residents interested in voting in the Aug. 7 election have
until Monday, July 9 to register to vote. New voters can register by mail or in
person at their county, city or township clerk’s office or by visiting any
Secretary of State office.
