ANN ARBOR – The Aug. 2 Primary Election is around the corner and many Ann Arbor voters will find their polling place has temporarily changed.
This is due to construction at several Ann Arbor Public School buildings, which typically serve as polling places throughout election season.

The City of Ann Arbor reminds registered voters of the following changes this Election Day:
- 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.
- The precincts have been renumbered, and they are now in consistent chronological order (1–53). 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 12 precincts in Ward 1.
