Introduction to Voting

Ever wondered if you can vote through Absentee Voting? What's Early Voting? How do I register to vote? How do I fill out a ballot? Do I have to fill out the entire ballot? What do I need to show when I go to vote? What if I'm not in town during Election Day?
Learn the basics of how our voting system works in Michigan, who can register to vote, the changes in the law that allows for Absentee and Early Voting, where to find information if you're registered to vote, what a ballot looks like, and get answers to your voting questions from the people who administers elections in our township. The 45 minute, interactive presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with presenter Valerie Niemiec, Putnam Township Clerk. Every U.S. citizen has a right to vote. Learn how you can exercise that right. (This is a tie-in program celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the Founding of the United States of America.)
