County Clerk

*ELECTION NIGHT BUILDING ACCESS*

There will be limited space available in the County Building on Election Night, August 4, 2020.  There will only be one hallway open and we will need space for the township clerks to stand while waiting to deliver election results to the County Clerk.  The front door to the building will be locked.  No one will be admitted without a mask.

Election results will be available on the County website.

THE CLERK’S OFFICE IS NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC (effective June 8, 2020)

You will no longer need to make an appointment, however the front door of the building is locked.  A security officer will meet you at the door and ask which office you would like to visit.  You will have your temperature taken and you will go through a short health screening.

You will need to wear a mask to gain entry into the building.  Please have all of your paperwork prepared before you arrive.  And please bring all of the necessary items, i.e. driver’s license, CPL certificate, payment (we take debit and credit cards).
