Michigan’s election on Tuesday will have special rules in place.

Per the governor’s executive order, the May 5th election is being conducted primarily by mail to limit possible exposure to COVID-19.

Thirty-three counties in the state, including Van Buren and St. Joseph, will be presenting ballot measures. There will be limited in-person voting on Election Day including access for voters with disabilities who prefer to use Voter Assist Terminals, but Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is encouraging voters to participate by mail.
