Grand Haven, MI (WGHN) –  It is Special Election Day in Michigan. Voters will go to the polls today to decide all manner of local ballot questions. There are a number of millage and school board proposals on the ballot across western Michigan.

Grand Haven Schools:
Operating Millage Renewal.
GHAPS is also asking voters to approve a bond proposal.

Spring Lake Schools
Voters in the Spring Lake Public Schools district are being be asked to approve a bond proposal.

Grand Haven Township
Voters in Grand Haven Township are being asked to support at $12 million bond proposal that would fund the construction of a new fire station.

Voter turnout is expected to be low. The polls, in most places, are open from 7 a.m. till 8 p.m. To learn which precinct you should visit, go to www.miottawa.org.

Instead of unofficial election data being electronically transmitted, election workers will collect the data from local clerks’ offices and deliver it to the county clerk’s office. The results will be posted online after they are delivered. During the delivery process, the results will be in sealed containers with GPS tracking. In addition, the results will now be posted on a “.gov” website, which the clerk’s office hopes will garner trust in election results.

Because election data will be delivered by staff members, unofficial results will be posted to the county website later than in previous elections. Staff with the clerk’s office are working to minimize this delay.
