Election Commission

Election Commission forwards pay, early voting location resolutions to Council and delegates duties to City Clerk

On January 30, 2026 the Ann Arbor Election Commission met at Larcom City Hall (3:02–3:23 PM). With two members present (Jacqueline Beaudry, Matt Thomas) and two absent, the Commission approved the agenda; approved and forwarded the October 17, 2025 minutes to City Council; recommended approval of new election personnel pay scales and of locations for early voting centers (both forwarded to the February 19 Council agenda); and approved a resolution delegating certain Commission duties to the City Clerk or authorized assistant. The Commission received updates on the Clerk's proposed budget impacts, the Election Center renovation, and the upcoming May special election deadline, postponed confirmation of delegates until full membership is present, and noted the need to secure temporary elementary school voting locations due to Ann Arbor Schools construction for the August 2026 Primary. Several U‑M law students attended for public comment.
