In the Aug. 6 primary, a number of Republican Party races will be contested in Dickinson County, including four for Dickinson County Board seats.

Kingsford City Hall will again be the site for nine days of early voting for all county voters, starting Saturday. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily through Sunday, Aug. 4. On Tuesday, Aug. 6, which is election day, voting will take place in each respective municipality from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Voters are reminded that they may vote in only party section, either Democratic or Republican. Unlike the November general election, where “split” ticket voting is permitted, voters must confine their votes to a single party column in the Aug. 6 primary.

Two county millage proposals are on the ballot, along with millage renewals in Sagola and Felch townships and a proposal in the North Dickinson County School District. A change in the Iron Mountain City Charter is also proposed.
