How do I find out where or if I am registered to vote? State of Michigan
How do I register to vote? You may register at the Secretary of State’s office or you can register at City hall, as long as your drivers’ license address is the same as your voter registration address.
Where do I vote? You will vote at Boyne City City Hall auditorium from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the day of the election.
How would I obtain an Absentee ballot? You would first fill out an absentee ballot application which a printable version is available on the State of Michigan website, or at city hall. Once the application is received, a ballot will be issued.
Can someone else pick up my ballot? You are the only person that may pick up your ballot, or we can put it in the mail for you.
What do I bring with me to the polls to prove my identity? It is state law that you show a photo ID when voting at the polls.

GENERAL ELECTION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARKING BALLOT:
TO VOTE: Completely darken the oval opposite each choice.
IMPORTANT: To mark your ballot, use only a black or blue ink pen. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER INK COLOR!
PARTISAN SECTION: To vote the partisan section of the ballot, you must cast a "straight ticket," a "split ticket," or a "mixed ticket."
Straight Ticket: Vote the party of your choice. Nothing further need be done in the partisan section. Split Ticket: You may vote a straight ticket AND vote for individual candidates of your choice. Mixed Ticket: Vote for the individual candidates of your choice in each office.
NONPARTISAN and PROPOSAL SECTIONS of the ballot (if any) must be voted separately.
DO NOT vote for more candidates than indicated under each office title.
WRITE-IN CANDIDATES: To vote for a candidate whose name is not printed on the ballot, write or place the name of that candidate in the blank space provided and completely darken the voting target area. This must be done even if you cast a straight party vote. Do not cast a write-in vote for a candidate whose name is already printed on the ballot for that office.
CHECK BOTH SIDES OF BALLOT: This ballot has two sides. Be certain to check the reverse side of the ballot.
WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED VOTING: Place the ballot in the secrecy sleeve so that votes cannot be seen and the numbered stub is visible. Return the ballot to the election official stationed at the tabulator. (If voting by absentee ballot, follow the instructions provided by the clerk for returning the ballot.)
NOTE: If you make a mistake, return your ballot to the election official and obtain a new ballot. Do not attempt to erase or correct any marks made in error.
