Candidate Filing Deadline Today for Municipal Elections

OLIVE TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Apr. 22, 2025) – Although the municipal general election day isn’t until November 4th, which candidates will be on the ballot in Michigan may be determined on Tuesday.

Ottawa County Clerk Justin Roebuck explains what this deadline means.

If more than two candidates for one office, or more candidates than available seats for councils and panels, submit their filing petitions and/or filing fees on time, a primary election on August 5th would be necessary. More information is at MiOttawa-dot-org or Allegan County-dot-org.
