SEPTEMBER 8, 2005

Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be at Grand Valley State University on Sept. 20 to help students register to vote.

The facility is a full-service Secretary of State branch office and is handicapper accessible. It is hauled statewide on a 24-foot trailer.

The office will be at the Cook Carillon Tower, on the Allendale campus. Hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"The first step in making your voice heard is registering to vote," Land said. "I encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity by visiting the mobile office while it is on campus. It’s a convenient way to register to vote or to conduct other business with the Secretary of State."

Following its visit to Allendale, the Mobile Branch Office will be in Ravenna, Big Rapids and Mt. Pleasant. It has logged more than 100,000 miles since it first hit the road nearly eight years ago.

Land encourages all customers who have Internet access to check out the Department of State’s online services at www.Michigan.gov/sos before visiting any branch office. For example, license tabs and watercraft registrations can be renewed online. Browsing the site will help customers determine requirements before they go to an office.
