BRANCH COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – It will be a busy year at the ballot box.
The first of three times you get to cast a ballot in 2020 will take place on Tuesday when the Michigan Presidential Primary is held.
The Democratic Presidential Primary ballot has 15 candidates but most of the candidates have dropped out of the race. Bernie Sanders is trying to win the Michigan Democratic Primary again. Sanders beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 but he needs a victory on Tuesday to stop former Vice President Joe Biden’s momentum after Biden won a majority of the Super Tuesday primaries last week.
Four Republicans including President Trump are on the Michigan Presidential Primary ballot.
Some Branch County voters will be deciding local school funding issues.
Butler Township residents who are in the Litchfield Community School District will be voting on a sinking fund millage proposal.
Hillsdale County Intermediate School District voters in Algansee, Butler and California Townships will be casting ballots on a 20 year millage proposal while Sherwood and Matteson Township voters in the Glen Oaks Community College District will be voting on an additional millage request for five years in order to fund campus improvements.
The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m..
