Voter Informations Cards are in the mail

New Voter Information Cards are Here!

Governor Whitmer recently signed Senate Bills 572 and 573, expanding precinct sizes from 2,999 to 4,999 voters. As a result, the City of Royal Oak can now increase the number of voters per precinct and consolidate existing ones. Previously, we had 24 precincts, but with these consolidations, we will now have 18 precincts.

This means that most voters will experience changes in their precinct number or location. New voter ID cards are being issued to those affected. If you receive a new voter ID card, feel free to discard your previous one.

To check if your precinct location has changed, you can verify your status now at the online Michigan Voter Information Center. Stay informed and exercise your right to vote!

Listen Up, Royal Oak!

The new City Commission chamber offers an assistive listening solution that delivers clarity to those struggling to hear in a big room that can at times be crowded. The device (shown in the photo) is easy to use.

If you are interested in trying one, please call the Human Resources Department at 248-246-3070 in advance of any meeting you are planning to attend. We’ll be happy to have a listening device ready and waiting for you!

Residential Lock Boxes Available at the Fire Department

The Royal Oak Fire Department’s residential lockbox program is designed to get quick access to adults living in their own homes during medical emergencies -- especially senior citizens. When every second counts, the lockbox -- which contains a key to your home -- reduces the likelihood of property damage caused by first responders forcing entry into your home in response to an emergency call.
