Lambertville, Michigan Public Records

The standard registration deadline is 15 days before an election, though Michigan also offers Election Day registration at the clerk's office or polling place with proof of residency. A valid Michigan driver's license or state ID number is required for online registration. Because Lambertville is unincorporated and governed by Bedford Township, residents vote in township, county, state, and federal elections but do not participate in municipal elections. Bedford Township holds elections for Supervisor, Clerk, Treasurer, and Trustee positions, with officials serving four-year terms. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the Michigan Voter Information Center at www.michigan.gov/vote by entering their name and date of birth or address, which displays polling location, sample ballot, and registration status. Michigan allows no-excuse absentee voting, and any registered voter can request an absentee ballot through the Michigan Voter Information Center online, by mail, or in person at Monroe County Clerk's office. Absentee ballot applications must be received by the Friday before the election for mail delivery, or voters can request and receive absentee ballots in person through Election Day at the clerk's office. Election records that are public in Michigan include voter registration lists (available to campaigns and political organizations with restrictions), precinct-level election results published by Monroe County Clerk after certification, campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political action committees (accessible through the Michigan Secretary of State at www.michigan.gov/sos), candidate filings showing who qualified for the ballot, and certified election results. The Monroe County Clerk posts unofficial election results on election night and certified results after the canvassing process, typically within two weeks.
