Tuesday, August 5, is Primary Day

Primary elections provide important opportunities for Involved Voters to make their voices heard.

To find Primary information for your city or township in Washtenaw County, just go to WashtenawVotes and type in your address.

Attention, Lima Township residents:
* "When you vote in the Primary Election you will be nominating a United States Senator, Representative in Congress 7th District, and Representative in the State Legislature 52nd District.
* Washtenaw County Offices will include Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff, Clerk/Register of Deeds, Treasurer, Drain Commissioner and County Commissioner.
* For Lima Township you will be nominating the Supervisor, Clerk, Treasurer, two Trustees (there are candidates in the Republican section only), and Precinct Delegates (both Democratic and Republican). Remember you may vote in one partisan section only, you cannot “split your ticket”."
* For more information about the primary, go to the Lima Township Election Information web page.

I am on the Lima Township ballot, Democratic Party section, as a candidate for Precinct Delegate. The position is one that serves to connect Democratic voters in Lima Township with the Washtenaw County Democratic Party. The first official duty of the Precinct Delegate will be to participate in the August 16 County Convention. The purpose of this Convention will be to 1) elect Washtenaw County's representatives and alternates by Congressional District to the State Convention Committees; and 2) consider resolutions for forwarding to the State Convention Platform Committee.

Join other Involved Voters who will be making time on Tuesday, August 5, between 7 AM and 8 PM to vote in the Primary.
