The deadline for registering to vote for the November 6 election is Tuesday, October 9. Your mailed application must be postmarked by tomorrow (the form is attached below). If you would like to register in person, the Clerk's staff is available today and tomorrow from 8am to 5pm, including lunchtime.

Due to the removal of the straight-party voting option, we're expecting the ballot to take longer to complete. We have added voting booths in all our precincts to accommodate longer voting times and larger turnouts. However, if you expect to be gone on November 6 or if you are age 60 or older, you can vote an absentee ballot. Use the attached application, call Clerk Carolyn Boersma at 844-2101 or email vote@springlaketwp.org.

We're prepared - let's all vote and make our voices heard!

On Thursday, October 11 at 7pm, Spring Lake District Library is hosting the Center for Michigan town hall on the topic of "Good Government." The discussion will include transparency, taxes, spending and more. RSVP for a seat at the link below.

The Bridge Magazine mobile news room will be at the library from 1pm to 5:30pm with activities and information.
