Michigan Election Law MCL 168.31(j) mandates participation by all city, township, village and county clerks and school election officials (school board secretaries).  To meet our obligations under the law, the Bureau has offered numerous accreditation workshops at various locations around the state.  The workshops listed above are being offered to city, township and village clerks as a final opportunity to meet your training obligations prior to the 2004 election cycle.

 

While these workshops are mandatory for clerks, you may bring a deputy or other members of your administrative staff if you wish.  These workshops are not designed for precinct workers.

 

If you have already attended an accreditation workshop but have not yet submitted your accreditation exam, we ask that you do so immediately.  Again, our goal is to ensure that all clerks receive their accreditation certificate by the end of this year.

 

County Clerks - Please pass this important information on to the city, township and village clerks within your county who do not have QVF or who have not attended any of the accreditation workshops that were previously offered.
