With the passing of Proposal 2 in November 2022, early in-person voting will be available for registered voters in 2024. That means an Early In-Person Voting Site will be available nine consecutive days before the Sunday before state and federal elections next year.

The Calhoun County Clerk’s Elections Office seeks individuals age 16+ to work at this Early In-Person Voting Site to ensure this additional voting access runs smoothly for all involved. Learn more on the website.

Fire Prevention

Week

It’s Fire Prevention Week. Did you know that unattended cooking is the leading cause of cooking fires and deaths? Stand by your pan. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove so no one can bump them or pull them over. If you have to leave the kitchen, turn off the burner. Visit the link for more resources.

The 2023 Calhoun County Connect is our community's VA Stand Down, which provides services for homeless veterans. This year's event will take place Friday, Oct. 20 with an opening ceremony at 8:30 a.m. at Full Blast in Battle Creek. Learn more by viewing the event flyer.
