There's a quirk to Flint's May 6 special primary election. Here's what you need to know

Some people living in Flint's 3rd Ward won't be able to vote in a special primary election on May 6 because there were different political boundaries in place when the councilman who's being replaced was first elected.
The article from MLive discusses the unique aspects of Flint's special primary election scheduled for May 5, 2025. This election is necessitated by the resignation of Flint City Councilman Eric Mays, who was removed from office following a disorderly conduct conviction. The special primary will feature candidates vying for the 1st Ward seat, with the top two vote-getters advancing to the general election on August 5, 2025. Notably, this election will be conducted entirely by absentee ballot, a decision made to streamline the voting process and increase voter turnout. Eligible voters in the 1st Ward will receive their ballots by mail, and they must return them by May 5. The article emphasizes the importance of this election for the community and provides guidance on how residents can participate in this crucial democratic process.
