Election Information

The City highly encourages absentee voting for the State Primary Election to be held on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 and the General Presidential Election to be held on November 3, 2020 to help keep our residents as safe as possible due to COVID-19.  Precinct workers will be wearing face masks/shields and gloves and will also have hand sanitizer available for resident use.  Social distancing guidelines may impact the amount of time you will spend waiting in line.  The 6' spacing requirement will affect how many voting booths are available in a precinct and how many people will be allowed into a polling place at one time. 

Dual Absentee Voter Applications are available on line at Michigan.gov/vote and they are also available at www.harperwoodscity.org on our elections page.  

Reminder:  Please check the box “Both 2020 Elections” to receive a ballot for both August and November.  You can also sign up to become a permanent absentee voter at Michigan.gov/vote or on your application.

         Think Positive, Be Positive

Let’s get it straight- these times are NOT uncertain; they are simply uncommon!  WE will get through this as a household, a neighborhood, a community, a city, a state, a nation and globally humankind will prevail.  We just need to adhere to the Governor’s Executive Order to Stay Home and Stay Safe.  Here are a few simply things you should do immediately to help yourself over the next few weeks.

1. Make a routine and stick to it.  This will help your body stay regular and can help you remain productive.
2. Get some sunshine.  Studies show sunshine helps lift our spirits.  While you’re at it maybe exercise while social distancing.
3. Make a List of To Dos.  Consider all the household  chores, ideas or simple organizational improvements you’ve been putting off.
