Today, voters will cast their ballots in the Michigan presidential primary and on the Ferndale school bond issue. Here's what you need to know before you head to the polls.

 

Today is the Michigan presidential primary — a chance for residents to vote on Republican presidential candidates and on the proposed Ferndale school bond.

What time can I vote?

The polls are open from 7 a.m-8 p.m. for all elections in the state of Michigan.

Where to go to vote

There are nine voting precincts in Ferndale. Use the map to the right, provided by the Ferndale City Clerk's Office, to help you find your polling location. Here's a list of polling sites by precinct:

How to vote

State law calls for separate ballots to be printed for Republican candidates and Democratic candidates — the same was done in the January 2008 primary.

When you arrive to vote, you must choose which type of ballot you would like by filling out an Application to Vote. Ferndale voters will also have the option of choosing a ballot that contains only the school bond proposal. Photos of the Application to Vote and all three ballots are shown in the gallery attached to this article.
