Huntington Woods, Michigan Public Records

The state offers same-day voter registration up to and including Election Day at the local clerk's office or polling place with proof of residency. Voters must present valid photo identification or sign an affidavit at the polls. Candidate filing begins in the spring preceding the election. Information on local candidates, ballot proposals, and campaign finance filings can be obtained through the City Clerk at Huntington Woods City Hall (248-541-3030) and the Oakland County Elections Division website. Residents can find their assigned polling location by entering their address at the Michigan Voter Information Center (www.michigan.gov/vote) or contacting the City Clerk. The community typically maintains 3-4 precincts with polling places at community facilities. Publicly accessible Michigan election records include voter registration lists (available for purchase for legitimate political purposes), campaign finance reports (searchable at www.michigan.gov/sos for state and local candidates), candidate filings and petitions, precinct-level election results, and absentee ballot statistics. Individual voter history showing which elections a person voted in, though not how they voted, is also public record. Oakland County reported exceptionally high turnout of approximately 73-75% of registered voters in the November 2024 presidential election, reflecting strong civic engagement in this suburban Detroit county. Michigan will hold elections for Governor (four-year term), Secretary of State, Attorney General, all 110 Michigan House of Representatives seats (two-year terms), approximately half of the 38 Michigan State Senate seats (four-year staggered terms), and potentially a U.S. Senate seat depending on the election cycle. County voters will also decide county executive, county commission seats, county clerk, county treasurer, sheriff, prosecutor, register of deeds, and various judicial positions including circuit court, district court, and probate court judges. While no municipal offices will appear on Michigan voters can request absentee ballots without providing a reason through the Michigan Voter Information Center at www.michigan.gov/vote or by contacting the Huntington Woods City Clerk at 26815 Scotia Road (248-541-3030). Applications must be received by 5:00 PM the Friday before the election, though voters can request and submit an absentee ballot in person at the city clerk's office up until 8:00 PM on Election Day. Michigan has joined the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) and offers permanent absentee voter list enrollment, allowing voters to automatically receive absentee ballot applications for all elections.
