The Manistee Area Chamber of Commerce is encouraging all eligible voters to visit a local city or township clerk's office to cast your vote! If you've already submitted an absentee ballot, thank you for making your voice heard. Your vote is valuable and can make positive change possible by electing officials that reflect your beliefs and priorities.

"For the first time in our state’s history, the people of Michigan voted to overhaul the redistricting process and develop an Independent Citizen’s Redistricting Commission. After much deliberation, many public hearings and lawsuits, the maps are final" (NMCA, 2022).

That’s why the Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance developed our 2022 Primary Election Guide. This page is intended to be a matter-of-fact guide to help understand new district lines and corresponding candidate information.

As residents of Manistee County, we have the ability to vote for our district candidates. Manistee County spans more than one district, so please visit the maps located in the election guide to determine your district.

Once you've determined your district (east or west Manistee County), you can browse the candidates for your area. Within the election guide, you can select the candidate’s picture to learn more about them or their name to see campaign finance reports.
