New Voter Information Cards

All City of Holland registered voters will be sent new Voter Information Cards in the mail soon. The cards are for the convenience of the voter to inform them of the various districts in which they live, such as US Congress, State Senate, and School. The cards also include the name and location of the polling place for the voter.

As a result of the decennial census and redistricting in Michigan, all the districts for the City of Holland have been renumbered and some ward boundaries were changed to reflect population shifts within the City. No polling locations changed, although a small number of voters have been re-assigned into a different ward and must now vote at a different location. Be sure to read the information in the shaded area of the Voter Information Card to confirm your polling location.
