8/4/14 - Local election officials say there are a few things for voters to keep in mind when heading to the polls on Tuesday. Low voter turnout is projected, which is typical for primary elections according to Livingston County Elections Supervisor Joan Runyan. She tells WHMI local turnout typically ranges from 20% to 27% but sheâs optimistic. Because it is an open primary, votes can be cast for any party in the partisan section of the ballot, but only for one party. Runyan says that means residents cannot vote split ticket and should also remember to vote both sides of the ballot. In addition to local and state races, millage proposals covering everything from police and fire services to roads, libraries and mosquitos will appear on Tuesdayâs ballot. Personalized sample ballots are available on the Michigan Voter Information Center website ahead of Tuesdayâs election. A link is available below. Polls will be open across Livingston County from 7am until 8pm Tuesday. (JM)
