LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Residents are running out of time to register to vote if they want to cast a ballot in the Aug. 4 primary election.
With Friday being a state holiday and Monday an unpaid furlough day for state workers, voters have only until Tuesday to meet the registration deadline.
Some communities, including Detroit, are holding primary elections for mayor and city council positions.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens and must be at least 18 years old by Aug. 4.
Most state services will be shut down Monday as the state has its second of six furlough days in an effort to cut $22 million from the budget.
State police road patrols will continue Monday and prisons and veterans' homes will be staffed. Unemployment call centers also will be open.
