2008 Election Information

Precinct Location Change
Clerk Ron Goodyke announces a change in location for those voters in Precinct 1 who currently vote at the Forest Hills Public School Administration Building. Since this location is no longer large enough to meet our needs, those voters will vote in the Family Life Center at the Cascade Fellowship CRC Church, located at 6655 Cascade Road SE. beginning with the May 2008 School Election. The church is located around the corner from the FHPS Administration Building. There will be signs posted to direct voters to the correct location (Precinct 7 currently votes in the upper level). You can expect new registration cards prior to the May 6 School Election. This is a permanent change for Precinct 1 voters.

I.D. Requirement
Please remember that beginning in 2008 the requirement for picture identification must be enforced by precinct workers. If you do not have a piece of current I.D. with your picture, you will be required to fill out an affidavit, which we will provide at the precinct, attesting to your identity before you can vote.

Poll Workers Needed
Due to the anticipated large turnout for the August Primary and the November General Elections, Cascade Township is looking for persons interested in working as poll workers at these elections. Please contact Ron Goodyke, Clerk or Denise Biegalle, Deputy Clerk at 949-1508 for more information.

Vote May 6
The next date for an election is May 6. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) also requires consolidation of elections, resulting in no separate school elections. Voters will consistently use the same polling place for all elections-- you will continue to vote in the same place you voted since 2005. The only exception is the permanent change of location for Precinct 1 from the Forest School Administration Building to the Cascade Fellowship Church. The last day to register to vote in the May 6 election is April 7.

August 5 Primary Election
The August Primary Election will be held on August 5. Of local interest in this election will be the decision as to who will be on the ballot in November for the Cascade Township Board, including the Supervisor, Clerk, Treasurer and four Trustees. The filing deadline for Nominating Petitions/filing fees and Affidavits of Identity is May 13. There will be candidates for some State offices and perhaps other matters to be decided. The last day to register for the August Primary is July 7.

November 4 General Election
This is the Presidential election. We expect a large turnout and an extensive Ballot. The last day to register to vote for this election is October 6.
