Dryden Township election commission special meeting July 8: what it’s for before Aug. 4 primary

Dryden Township residents have two key election dates to keep straight: the township’s Election Commission special meeting on July 8, 2026 and the primary election on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026. The July 8 meeting is an election-administration step—appointing workers—while the township’s primary notice lays out what residents should check for voting.

Why the July 8 special meeting matters

Dryden Township posted a notice for an Election Commission Meeting on Wednesday, July 8, 2026 at 9:15 a.m. The notice lists the place of meeting as Dryden Twp. Hall.

The notice’s stated purpose is to appoint election workers for state primary early voting and for election day—it specifically references “the August 6th election.”

In the resident-facing primary notice, though, the township lists the primary as Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026, with election-day hours and precinct details. So for voting logistics, rely on the Aug. 4 resident notice for the hours and polling-place information.

Aug. 4, 2026 primary election: voting hours

The township’s primary election notice says the primary election will be held Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026, with voting hours from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Early voting (July 25–Aug. 2) at Dryden Township Hall

If you’re planning to vote before election day, Dryden Township’s notice lists a nine-day early voting period running Saturday, July 25, 2026 through Sunday, Aug. 2, 2026.

Early voting hours are listed as 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, and the early voting location is:

4849 Dryden Road, Dryden, MI 48428

Polling locations on election day: check your precinct

The township notice lists Precinct 1 polling location as:

4849 Dryden Road, Dryden, MI 48428

Residents should avoid assuming Precinct 1 applies to everyone—election day polling locations can vary by precinct, and the township organizes information by precinct.

Where to verify if you’re unsure

If you’re not sure which precinct you’re in—or you want an extra confirmation step—Michigan’s Secretary of State provides a statewide elections information hub residents can use to confirm procedures and election logistics.

For township-specific scheduling (including early voting at township hall), the Dryden Township posted notices are the details to lock in now.
