EARLY VOTING
In addition to voting at the polls on Election Day and absentee voting, Early Voting will now be offered for all federal and state elections. Early Voting for Bellevue Twp. will be held in cooperation with most other Eaton Co. jurisdictions at the Carmel Twp. Hall for nine days prior to each election.
ABSENTEE VOTING
If you wish to receive an absentee ballot for this election or for all future elections, please contact the clerk for an absentee ballot application, which has a box to request to be added to the Permanent Ballot list. Rather than receiving an application for one or more of the elections every calendar year (as with the old permanent absentee voter list), you will apply once to receive a ballot for each election until you choose to be removed from the list. If you move, you will remain on the list and receive your ballot from your new jurisdiction at your new mailing address. If you move out of state, become ineligible to vote, move and fail to update your address, or fail to vote in six consecutive elections, you will be removed from the list.
REGISTER TO VOTE
Eligible residents may register to vote at the Township office any time during normal business hours, or by appointment with the clerk.
