Local election results for May 2019

Dan Wanschura

Elections were held across Michigan on Tuesday, and school bonds were on many ballots.

Unofficial election results show that school bonds in Ludington and Leland passed, but a $47.8 million proposal for Benzie County Central Schools narrowly failed by 114 votes, or just under 2 percentage points. Another proposal in Kingsley Area Schools overwhelmingly failed with 73 percent of voters saying ‘no.’

Several other communities had municipal bonds go to a vote. A proposal to improve the Kaliseum Recreation Complex in Kalkaska Area Schools failed, while a bond to improve fire and emergency response in Leland passed.

You can find a full list of election results by county here.
