GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Grand Rapids City Clerk Joel Hondorp and his team of election professionals are gearing up for the upcoming Presidential Primary. To make sure that the Tuesday, Feb. 27 election is positive and smooth for voters, Hondorp encourages participants to “know before you go” and be aware of the specifics of the Presidential Primary.

“The Presidential Primary Election is different than other elections,” Hondorp said.  “Voters must choose a Democratic or Republican ballot ­– or if they live in the Kentwood Public Schools District may select a non-partisan ballot. The ballot selection does not register the voter to any party.”  

Voters have three choices for voting this year.  They may vote early in person at an early voting site, vote by mail with an absentee ballot or go to their precinct on Election Day. Voters may vote a candidate listed on the ballot or choose to vote for uncommitted or write in a candidate.

Hondorp will deliver a briefing on the 2024 election cycle at the City Commission’s January 9, 9:45 a.m. Committee of the Whole meeting. That meeting and briefing can be viewed on Comcast Channel 26 and will be live streamed on the City of Grand Rapids Facebook page and YouTube channel.
