CITY AUGUST PRIMARY ELECTION AUGUST 7, 2023

The City of Riverview will be having an August 8, 2023 Primary Election for Mayor (Vote for 1) and  City Council (Vote for 3) as well as a proposal to initiate legislation pursuant to Section 6 of the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act, to reinstate the City's marihuana moratorium and to disallow the sale of marihuana in the City of Riverview.  This is an important election to narrow down the candidates for the November 7, 2023 City General Election.  There can only be 2 candidates for Mayor and only 6 candidates for City Council to vote for in the November Election.  The highest 2 vote recipients for Mayor will be on the November Ballot and the highest top six vote recipients will be on the November Ballot.

The City of Riverview is looking for people interested in becoming a Precinct Chair or Co-Chair.  It is required that you have a little experience on how to work a computer laptop.  You will be trained through two classes for the opening and closing of a precinct as well as for the running of the precinct on election day.  This is not a voluntary position you will receive and hourly rate of pay for training as well as election day.  This is an important position in which we need reliable people who want our elections to be conducted per regulations.  Some of our current chairs who have worked for years are retiring and would like to hand down these responsibilities to younger civic minded resident voters (or non-residents).  Please contact the City Clerk at 734.281.4241 or clerk@cityofriverview.com if you are interested.  The Clerk's department is always available to assist chairs and precinct workers with any thing that comes up during an election day which they might not have the answer to as well as seasoned precinct workers who will assist their chairs.
