Know Your Political Candidates Before the August Primaries

The Ann Arbor Area Chamber has developed a new webpage to provide members with the election and government information you need to stay informed and get involved in the issues that matter to your business.  At annarborareabusinessvotes.com, you can register to vote, find out what district you are in, see who your candidates are and find out what they think about important issues.

For Election 2006, we invited local candidates running for the Ann Arbor City Council, the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners and the Michigan Legislature to respond to a questionnaire.  Find out what your candidate thinks about the single business tax or development downtown under the ‘Local Election Resources’ section at annarborareabusinessvotes.com.

Don’t forget to vote in the August 8 primary.  Many of the key races in Washtenaw County will be decided in the primary this year.  Find out more about the primary races at annarborareabusinessvotes.com

If you will be out of town or busy on August 8, you can obtain an absentee voter ballot by writing to the clerk of the city or township in which you are registered to vote. You can also request an absentee ballot online. For more information, go to www.ewashtenaw.org/government/clerk_register/elections/el_clkvoteinfo.html.
