City Clerk Provides Update on November Special Election Status with Voting Officially Closed as of 8 p.m.

9:30 p.m. — An update from the Ann Arbor City Clerk's Office notes that Ann Arbor polling places and absentee ballot collections have been closed since 8 p.m., and precincts are continuing to report 2025 Special Election results. Voters in Ann Arbor were asked to decide on one ballot proposal in the 2025 Special Election:

WASHTENAW INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT AREA CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROPOSAL

Interest in absentee ballots and early voting was modest and there was a light Election Day turnout as expected. Early reports from the precincts suggest an approximately 18% turnout citywide, including absentee ballots, early votes and Election Day ballots cast.

Ann Arbor City Clerk Jacqueline Beaudry reports the absent voter counting board is continuing to check in and process through all absentee ballots, and city elections operations will continue to work until every ballot is counted. A total of 20 absentee ballots were issued today to newly registered voters and nearly 1,800 ballots were returned by voters today at city drop boxes and in the mail. The ballots collected at drop boxes at 8 p.m. are being checked in by city staff and are expected to be delivered to the Counting Board by 10 p.m.
