DETROIT (FOX 2) - The 2025 Michigan Elections may not have the political clout of a presidential or even midterm elections, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't pay attention to what's happening in their city.
In Detroit, voters will elect a new mayor for the first time since 2014, when the city was still in bankruptcy. Meanwhile, they're also voting on a city council again, with multiple seats open.
In Oakland County, they're voting on several millages and proposals – plus mayors. While in Dearborn, they'll vote on a new mayor and a proposal to move to a ward system for city council positions.
In other words – your vote matters in the local elections.
