In the Middle of Everything!

Welcome to the City of Alma That's Alma! The wonder and beauty of the great State of Michigan is easily accessible from Alma. We are located where M46 and US127 come together in the middle of the state. Alma’s a great place to live and raise a family. We are proud of our quaint, walkable downtown that continues to improve with new restaurants, shops and apartments. Being the home of the Alma College Scots, we provide opportunities for the arts and culture that rival much larger cities. Come and see how nice it can be to be living in the #inthemiddleofeverything #almami

Wondering how you can return your AV ballot?

The Alma Municipal Building is now open to the public. City of Alma voters can drop off absent voter ballots during regular business hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed for lunch 11:30-12:30). We also have two drop boxes available. Both are secure and available 24-7. One is in front of the Municipal Building near the USPS mail box (you may be dropping your utility payments there now, but it is also available for dropping off ballots.) The other drop box is a drive-up box in the circle drive on the east wall of the Alma Public Library. Ballots for jurisdictions other than the City of Alma should be returned to the appropriate Clerk. You can use the link below to find your Clerk's contact information, apply for an AV ballot, or check the status of your ballot.

If you have applied for an absent voter ballot and haven't yet received it, if you need to spoil your ballot and request a new one, or if you have any other questions of concerns, please give me a call at 989-463-9500. Thank you! Sara Anderson, Alma City Clerk
