Proposals on the Ballot Across Oakland County<\/p>\n

(Oakland County, Mich.) \u2013 In addition to choosing candidates for federal, state, county and local offices, voters across Oakland County have ballot proposals to consider in the Nov.3, 2026 election.<\/p>\n

Proposals vary depending on where a voter lives and can include questions involving local government services, police and fire funding, libraries, roads, parks, schools, and other public services. Two authority proposals are countywide, while other questions will appear only on ballots in the communities or districts where they apply. There are also two proposals that will appear statewide.<\/p>\n

The Oakland County Elections Division has published its official proposal list for the election. Voters can review the full ballot language for the proposals at https:\/\/elections.oaklandcountymi.gov\/government\/clerk-register-of-deeds\/elections-voting<\/a><\/p>\n
