As the November general election draws near and absentee ballots start to circulate at the end of this month, the Michigan Chapter encourages supporters to get prepared!
Electing environmental advocates to local, state and federal offices is essential for safeguarding the health of citizens, preserving natural resources and protecting the Great Lakes. This is a crucial time in Michigan for setting a new, higher standard when it comes to environmental policy. Redistricting created an opportunity to elect an environmental majority in Lansing. The decisions voters make in 2022 will have a lasting impact for a generation to come. This year offers the starkest choice between two competing visions for Michigan’s future. The very fabric of democracy in Michigan is at stake.
Voters can find district information and polling location, as well as make sure they are registered and see what their ballots will look like by visiting the SOS website. Polling locations are open on Election Day, Tuesday, November 8th from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters can obtain an absentee ballot by contacting their township or city clerk’s office any time before or on Election Day. Those who are qualified to vote but not yet registered can vote by registering up to and including Election Day. To get more election information, click HERE.
