Lisa Brown, Oakland County Clerk, Holds Extended Office Hours for Voter Registration and Passport Applications
The Oakland County Clerk’s Office is staying open until 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 11, so County residents can turn in their voter registration applications in time for the November 8 General Election and apply for a passport. Other services from the Clerk’s Office will also be available. Normal office hours are 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
“Regular business hours don’t fit everyone’s schedule. We received requests for extended hours and are always looking for ways to make our services more accessible to all Oakland County residents. The extended hours next Tuesday will give people more time to register to vote and conduct business with the Clerk’s Office,” said Lisa Brown, Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds.
