Register to vote in the upcoming election

May 30, 2013 By Downtown Flat Rock

voteboxDon’t forget to register to vote for the upcoming election this fall, if you are currently unregistered. To vote in the 2013 election, you must register to vote by October 7th. The general election will be held on November 5th.

There are two ways to register to vote: by mail and by person.

You may register to vote if:

  • You are a United States Citizen
  • You are 18 years of age by Election Day
  • You are a resident of the City of Flat Rock for at least 30 days prior to the Election

You must re-register your vote if:

  • You moved to Flat Rock after the last election
  • You moved within Flat Rock after the last election

According to Michigan law, the same address on your driver’s license must be used on your voter registration.

When you register in person, all you have to do is hand over your application to the city clerk. If you have never registered to vote in Michigan and chose to mail in your application, you must give identification. Approved identification includes:

  • Entering your driver’s license number on the form
  • A photocopy of your driver’s license
  • A photocopy of a paycheck stub, utility bill, bank document or government document that lists both your name and address

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
