Consolidation of Precincts
Attention residents: The Township board voted to consolidate precincts 1 and 2: anyone who voted at precinct 1 will now vote at precinct 2 (Hurontown fire hall). This move was recommended by the state and the board felt it’s a good use of resources (the township office will now remain open on election day). If you voted at the Township office, you will receive a new voter ID card reflecting your polling location change. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our office at 482-4310 or stop in.
