Election day for the Michigan Democrat and Republican primaries is fast approaching on Tuesday. Some people have already cast their votes, as Michigan voters can vote by absentee ballot or at early voting sites from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 27 through Aug. 4. In Leelanau County, there is only one early voting site: the government center at 8527 E. Government Center Drive in Suttons Bay.
On election day itself, the early voting site at the government center will be closed. Voters will need to go to the polling locations in their township/precinct. To find their polling location, readers can visit mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/ Index.
County Clerk Michelle Crocker has been re-certifying election workers in the leadup to the primary elections. Crocker said that she’s held six training sessions at the county government center in July, spanning from four-and-ahalf to five-and-a-half hours, where workers from Leelanau’s 11 townships learned “opening the polls, closing the polls, and everything in between.”
