Those planning to vote in the Nov. 5 General Election now have three options in Oceana County.
Early voting for Oceana County residents begins Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Oceana County Courthouse Jury Room, located at 100 State St. in Hart. Registered voters may vote in-person any day, Sunday through Saturday, from now until Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Registered voters should bring a valid photo ID.
Chief Deputy Clerk for Oceana County, Melanie Coon, provided the following reminders as Election Day nears. Residents can still register to vote up until 8 p.m. on Election Day in their township of residence, she said. The easiest way to register on Election Day is to provide a valid photo ID; otherwise, voters will need to provide their proof of residency with a utility or tax bill.
Absentee ballots may still be requested up until 4 p.m. on Nov. 4 from their township clerks; however, given Election Day is just 11 days away, voters will most likely be asked to fill out their ballot at the same time to insure their ballot doesn’t get lost in the mail.
Election Day voting, Tuesday, Nov. 5, will take place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in each voting precinct. Voters are reminded to bring their photo ID and that no campaign paraphernalia or clothing is allowed within 100 feet of voting/polling locations.
Those with questions about voting in this year’s election should reach out to their township clerk’s office.
