GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — As many voters head to vote next Tuesday, many voters will need to remember to flip to the other side of the ballot that is forgotten and sometimes ignored.
Elections officials told News 8 along with the various state and local judgeships and other nonpartisan candidates, there are also questions that may hit more close to home. But even in a high-turnout election, voters often skip filling in those backside ovals.
Kent County Elections Director Gerrid Uzarski said, “People don’t realize that we’re passing millages, with a small percentage of voters participating in those big numbers.”

Voters should also know that while Michigan Supreme Court races are nonpartisan, non-incumbents are nominated by the political parties.
