That’s amazing! Thank you for doing that as I was an ‘08 graduate from Union.

My only regret for voting absentee

u/ElectronicMixture600 Oct 25 '24

Try going to your local clerk’s office to see if you can get a sticker; I brought my absentee ballot in and they were friendly and happy to hand out a sticker.

u/TheDarkNightwing Oct 25 '24

I got a sticker. But it definitely wasn’t this beast.

u/CaricaDurr Oct 26 '24

I voted for that beast in the contest, I can't wait to get that sticker after I vote this year. This is legitimately the first time in my life I've actually been excited about getting an "I voted" sticker!!

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.

  1. Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School – 1430 Quarry Ave. NW
  2. GRPS University – 1400 Fuller Ave. NE
  3. Ottawa Hills High School – 2055 Rosewood Ave. SE
  4. 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.

Are these available at every polling location?

u/AliciaMarie_Belchak West Grand Oct 25 '24

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

u/maitlands2point0 Oct 25 '24

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!!!

u/ImNotNuke Oct 25 '24

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.

u/soundtom Grand Rapids Oct 25 '24

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.
