Election evaluation
Local clerks detail how things went for the general election BY MARK VEST mvest@candgnews.com
GREATER WEST BLOOMFIELD/FARMINGTON/FARMINGTON HILLS — With the general election having come and gone, local clerks can now breathe a sigh of relief. This year, residents had more options than ever to vote, and clerks from local municipalities recently shared details about how things went this election season. This year, as has been the case in the past, voters could vote in person or via an absentee ballot. However, what was new for this year’s general election was the opportunity to vote early, as there were nine days of early voting prior to Nov. 5.

Local clerks recently shared a positive report about how things went at their respective precincts this election season. One of the voting sites for the general election Nov. 5 was the West Bloomfield Township Public Library.

KEEGO HARBOR/WEST BLOOMFIELD — Residents who have been awaiting the fate of the former Roosevelt Elementary School in Keego Harbor still don’t have a final decision. Prior to closing in 2022, Roosevelt, which
is more than 100 years old, was the longest continuously operating school building in Oakland County. In 2023, in a 5-2 decision, West Bloomfield School District Board of Education members passed a recommendation to demolish the Roosevelt building and playground.
