November means cooler weather, recovering from Daylight Saving Time ending, Thanksgiving, and elections.
Some Calhoun County voters will be heading to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 4, to consider millage proposals.
Village of Tekonsha election info:
Tekonsha is asking voters to consider a renewal of a 3.75 mill through 2036 to provide funds for street and sidewalk maintenance, repair and rebuilding within the village. If approved, it would raise about $75,000 in the first year.
Olivet Community Schools election info:
The district is asking voters to approve the non-homestead millage renewal.
If approved, it would allow the district to levy 18 mills on non-homestead property. Non-homestead property include industrial, commercial, and some agricultural property and second homes. It does not include primary residences. Schools must levy 18 mills on non-homestead properties to receive full state funding.
The current millage expires with the 2025 tax levy. The millage generates about $1.1 million annually.
What do I need to know about voting in 2025 elections?
November election days are traditionally held the next Tuesday after the first Monday in November. In 2025, that date is Nov. 4.
If you’re not sure if your voter registration is current, you can check your registration status by entering your information on the Michigan Secretary of State’s website. You can also go to your local clerk’s office, which can be found by entering your address here.
Michiganders can go to their clerk’s office on Election Day to register, and then vote at their polling place anytime from 7 a.m. until the polls close at 8 p.m. Registered voters have the right to cast a ballot as long as they are in line at their polling place by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Once arriving at a polling place, voters who have not registered to vote can register on-site and voters who already have registered may vote.
State laws require voters to show official photo identification, such as a driver’s license, local government ID or U.S. passport. Voters without a photo ID can still cast a ballot by signing an affidavit stating the voter does not have an ID.
