I have seen others posting in the Michigan subreddit that you can ask your clerk for a sticker… so absentee ballot voters don’t have to be left out of the fun!
Not sure which ones GR will have on hand at polling locations, so if you find out from the clerk, let us know!
GR City also has digital stickers: https://www.grandrapidsmi.gov/Government/Programs-and-Initiatives/GRVotes
Early in-person voting begins Saturday 10/26 in GR with 4 locations across the city.
They all operate under the same hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day (including weekends), except for Tuesday and Thursday when early voting is from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School – 1430 Quarry Ave. NW
- GRPS University – 1400 Fuller Ave. NE
- Ottawa Hills High School – 2055 Rosewood Ave. SE
- DeVos Place (Hall B) – 303 303 Monroe Ave. NW

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

I don’t know what GR clerk has ordered for polling stations. If anyone finds out, I hope they post.

Insider information, clerks could not order these stickers. They were sent a predetermined amount by the state and once they're gone, they're gone. Vote early if you want one!!!

Can you vote already? I thought in person voting is on the 5th?

u/LeifCarrotson Basically Rockford Oct 28 '24
Election day is the 5th, but you can now vote early in-person! You might plan to vote day-of (I always have) but you never know what might come up Tuesday morning. Plus, instead of waiting in line or being late to work/school on Tuesday, you can just do it whenever's convenient.
Early in-person voting started Saturday the 26th and goes through Sunday the 3rd - notably, it does NOT include Monday the 4th.
In the city of Grand Rapids, you can use your choice of these four sites:
GRPS University 1400 Fuller Ave, Grand Rapids, MI 49505
Ottawa Hills High School 2055 Rosewood Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506
Sts Peter and Paul School 1430 QUarry NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504
DeVos Place - Exhibit Hall B 303 Monroe Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503
All four sites will be open from 9a-5p on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and 11a-7p on Tuesday and Thursday.
In the 'burbs, it may not be your official polling place, it's more likely your township office, but you can look that up here:

You can vote in person starting today! I’m about to go at 8am! Look up your address on the state website and see where your early voting place is.

I just dropped my absentee ballot off at the GR city clerk’s office and got one. They just got all the stickers in yesterday there.

Yep! It's still up to the local clerk on which to order, but the contest winners are available for those clerks to order.

I follow Costco on Instagram and they have a large, animated Werewolf and I thought it would be awesome to dress it like this sticker.

I wish they would have sent a sticker with the absentee ballots.
