🗳 Ann Arbor Primary Election Results
As a result of statewide redistricting, voters will find some changes to their ballot.
The City of Ann Arbor’s website reads:
“All Ann Arbor voters are now in U.S. Congressional District 6, and new State House and Senate districts have also been assigned to Ann Arbor. Some residents will also be assigned to a new County Commissioner District.
“What does this mean to you as a voter? Most, but not all, voters will still vote at the same polling location, and this will also be indicated on your new voter ID card. For voters who have been reassigned to a new ward and/or precinct location, the card will clearly indicate this change for you. Watch for your new card in the mail in the coming weeks, well before the August Primary.”
Registered voters were mailed voter ID cards in mid-July, which reflects the renumbering of Ann Arbor’s precincts.
“All city voters should also be aware that the precincts have been renumbered, now in consistent chronological order (1-53),” reads the city’s website. “So while you may still be assigned the same precinct and polling location, the number may be slightly different. This new naming convention is a best practice and replaces the previous system of numbering each ward separately. For example, Ward 2, Precinct 1 is now Ward 2, Precinct 13, following the first twelve precincts in Ward 1.”
