Absentee Voting has been delayed!
Using an official ballot is important to ensure your vote is counted without challenge. Legal counsel and our insurance provider have advised against the use of sample ballots for actual voting. This helps protect the security of the election process and ensures your vote remains confidential.
Once we have ballots we will let everyone know!
Auditor Houchin will still be at the Lower Bruce Tribal Headquarters on the 17th for anyone who has questions or wanting to register to vote!
