Trick or Treating

Trick-or-Treating in Delta Township is from 6 pm to 8 pm tonight. Here are some tips for a safe and happy trick-or-treating event.

1. Stay Distraction Free - Put down your phone and pay attention to vehicle traffic
2. Light Up the Night – use reflective tape, glow sticks or flashlights so you are seen
3. Save the candy Later – Don’t consume candy until after you’ve completed trick-or-treating so it can be safely checked
4. Slow Down - slower traffic reduces the risk to pedestrians
5. Keep a Cool Head – Trick-or-treating can be fun for everyone if we are respectful of others

November 8 General Election

November 8, 2022

General Election 

The General Election of 2022, will be elected Governor for the State of Michigan on November 8, 2022, along with many more partisan, and non-partisan offices. In a General Election, all parties, the two major parties; Republican and Democrat, and minor parties; Green, Libertarian, Natural Law, U.S. Taxpayers, and Working-Class that are represented in Michigan will be on the ballot. In General Elections voters have the choice of voting; “Straight Ticket” Vote for the party of your choice. Nothing further needs to be done in the partisan section of the ballot. “Split Ticket” Voters may vote a straight ticket AND vote for individual candidates of your choice or “Mixed Ticket” Vote for the individual candidates of your choice in each office. Nonpartisan and Proposal Sections of the ballot must be voted separately. When voters choose to vote for each office individually the only restriction is, voters must only vote for the number of candidates allowed to be elected as identified under the office heading for each office on the ballot. If the voter votes for more candidates than is allowed the votes within that office will not count. In a precinct, if a voter does over-vote or makes any other mistake, the voter should let an Election Inspector know so the ballot can be spoiled and replaced to vote correctly. If you are voting by absent voter ballot, please contact the Clerk’s Office at 323-8500 for instructions on how to spoil, return the spoiled ballot and get a new ballot issued. If residents will be out of the community on Election Day or need any information regarding the upcoming election, contact the Township Clerk’s Office at 323-8500.

The Delta Township Clerk’s Office will be open for extended hours on the following dates to process voter registration applications and absent voter applications for the November 8, 2022, General Election.:

Saturday, November 5, 2022 – 8 a.m.– 4 p.m.
