You've previously worked in multiple election administration counties,
including Oakland, Saginaw, Genesee.
With that being said, midterm quickly approaching.
We don't have much time left.
What can we expect and what do we need to know as voters?
I think really what's most important to know as a voter
is that you have several different options to go out to vote.
So absentee ballots have been sent out, are currently being sent out.
Early voting opens up on October 24th, and then,
of course, you have Election Day voting.
So you have several different options to fit
into your schedule to get out and cast your ballot.
Now, with that being said, Cameron,
is there something that you feel like is different about
this year's midterms than ones that you've operated in the past?
Not from the clerk's standpoint.
I do anticipate there being a higher voter turnout,
and part of that's due to having so many different voting options.
But the actual work and the preparation behind the election
is the same as any other election that has been done.
I want to talk briefly about the races, because one of them
obviously gaining a lot of national attention, the U.S. Senate race.
We have Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and, of course, Mike Rogers.
With that campaign in general, what do we need to know about the counts
when the voting and everything's finally counted?
So what's really important to keep in mind
is that clerks value election accuracy over speed, as they should.
so with more voters coming out things it's could
be a little bit later um to hear the results
but unofficial results will be coming to the voters
and you can be assured that they are
accurate now with midterms being uh roughly what two
to three weeks not even uh what do we
Michigan voters need to know ahead of November 3rd
so they have everything they need prior to
going to the polls? You want to ensure that you are registered.
If you have applied for an absentee
ballot or you're on the permanent ballot list
and you haven't received it yet, it would be a good
time to reach out to your clerk's office to make sure you get it.
And you want to be sure to, if
you are voting absentee,
to return your ballot before 8 p.m. on election day and make sure that
you sign that envelope. Cameron,
