Ypsilanti Township will not join the countywide early voting network.
The proposed partnership would reflect the updated early voting rules passed in Proposition 2 last November.
Heather Jarrell-Roe is Ypsilanti's township clerk. She voted to join the countywide network.
“I believe just the best way forward was really to join the county collaboration, not only because it was the most fiscally responsible thing to do for our township, but just anytime you’re venturing into new spaces or territories, collaboration, support, and partnership, are always great things to have on your side.”
Jarrell-Roe says the township will still provide the same number of early voting sites for residents but will not be able to access assistance from the countywide network to staff and fund the sites.
