The 2020 Presidential Primary will be held on March 10. This is a closed primary, and you will need to choose a party ballot to vote. We do not have a non-partisan ballot for this election.

Anyone may request an absentee ballot. For voters on our permanent absentee voter list, applications have been mailed. If you are not on the list, contact the Clerk's office at vote@springlaketwp.org or 844-2101 to get an application. Ballots will be mailed beginning the week of January 27. Ballots must be returned to Township Hall (by mail or in person) by 8pm on March 10.

New voters may register to vote for this election by mail, until February 24. After that date you may register to vote in person at the Clerk's office until 8pm on March 10. Proof of residency will be required during this registration window.

Voters in Precincts 3 and 4 - Remember that your polling location has been moved to St. Mary's Catholic Church Activity Center, 406 E. Savidge St.

Beginning October 1, 2020, the federal government will fully enforce the post-9/11 REAL ID Act, and standard state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards will no longer be accepted to board domestic flights within the United States.

Many people already have a REAL ID document, such as a valid US passport, a trusted traveler card, or an enhanced driver's license. A full list of acceptable REAL ID documents is available at TSA.gov.

A standard Michigan license may be made REAL ID-compliant by visiting a Secretary of State branch office and presenting the required documents. There's no additional fee if the change is done during your normal renewal time. Otherwise, a duplicate card fee will be charged.

The Ottawa County Road Commission is reminding drivers to exercise care around snow plows.
