Comstock Park, Michigan Public Records

The state offers same-day voter registration, meaning residents can register and cast their ballot on Election Day at their city or township clerk's office with proof of residency. For Comstock Park residents living in Alpine Township, local voter registration assistance is available through the Alpine Township Clerk at 5255 Alpine Avenue NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321, or by calling 616-784-1262. Registration requires either a Michigan driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. Because the community is unincorporated, there are no mayoral or city council races here. Residents also participate in Kent County, state, and federal elections. Finding an assigned polling location is straightforward, voters can enter their address at https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/ or contact the Alpine Township Clerk directly. Michigan's no-reason absentee voting system allows any registered voter to request an absentee ballot by completing an application available at https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/ or through the Alpine Township Clerk. Applications must be received by 5:00 PM the Friday before Election Day, though voters can request ballots in person at the township clerk's office through 4:00 PM on the Monday before Election Day. The MVIC portal provides online tracking for absentee ballot status.
