A new Voter Identification Card will soon be in the mail for registered voters in the City of Alma.

The City of Alma is required by state law to mail a new Voter Identification Card to EVERY registered voter following each decennial census and redistricting. Your voter ID card lists your precinct for voting and the new House, Senate, Congressional, and County Commission districts.

These changes DO NOT affect voting precincts within the City of Alma. Polling locations will remain the same.

This card is not required for voting. Photo ID requirements are still in effect. Please note the changes, keep the card for your records, and destroy your old card.

If you receive a card for someone who does not live at your address, please mark it “unknown” and place it back in the mail. Returned cards allow the City Clerk to begin the four-year cancellation process for that voter.

If you have any questions, please contact the Alma City Clerk’s office at 989-463-8336.
