Voter Registration
If you wish to register to vote you must be:
- At least 18 years of age by the date of the next election
- A citizen of the United States
- A resident of Michigan and the City or township in which you wish to register
You can register to vote at all Secretary of State branch offices, the County Clerk's Office, various designated state agencies, or the St. Joseph City Clerk's Office. If you are unable to go to any of these offices to register, please contact your local Clerk at (269) 983-6325.
If you are registered to vote and have moved or changed your name, you must contact your local Clerk's office to ensure that your registration is correct.

all of which must be maintained by inspectors for each election. If you are interested in serving, please contact the Clerk's office for an application.
