Our Voter Service Committee has completed the Non-partisan Voter Guide for the August 4th Primary in Dearborn. There are 25 candidates running for 7 seats on Dearborn City Council. On August 4th, vote for up to 7 candidates to proceed to the General Election.
It's available online at www.lwvddh.org/voterguide.pdf and will be distributed throughout the city.
A note on why you are voting for 7, though 14 will be on the November ballot:
"Primaries can also be used in nonpartisan elections to reduce the set of candidates that go on to the general election (qualifying primary). (In the U.S., many city, county and school board elections are non-partisan.) Generally twice as many candidates pass the primary as can win in the general election, so a single seat election primary would allow the top two primary candidates to participate in the general election following."
