Dear APA Members,Â
Â
I hope all is well with you and your families!Â
Due to COVID 19, we cannot participate in the normal Â
voter outreach activities and information forums. However, this Â
should not stop you from getting involved virtually. Â
Â
August 4th, 2020 is the date for Michigan’s open primary election, Â
you can obtain a ballot beginning 45 days before the election fromÂ
your local city clerk or township clerk. Remember, the big election Â
is held on November 3rd, 2020 and you can also obtain a ballot 45 days prior to Â
that date, as well. With Michigan’s new voter law, you do not need a reason to vote early.Â
Â
Please visit the links below to learn more about registering to vote, Â
requesting an absent voter ballot and most of all become educated Â
on the issues at the final link below.Â
