Ballot Page 3 MILITARY AND OVERSEAS VOTER BALLOT State General Tuesday, November 3, 2020 Wayne County, Michigan Allen Park City Precinct 8 INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPOSALS
REGIONAL ENHANCEMENT MILLAGE RENEWAL PROPOSAL Pursuant to state law, the revenue raised by the proposed enhancement millage will be collected by the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency and distributed to local constituent public school districts including eligible public school academies within the boundaries of the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency based on pupil membership count. As a renewal of authority which expires with the 2021 levy, shall the limitation on the amount of ad valorem taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency, Michigan, be increased by 2 mills ($2.00 per thousand dollars of taxable value) for a period of six (6) years, 2022 to 2027, inclusive, to provide operating funds to enhance other state and local funding for local school district operating purposes? It is estimated that 2 mills would raise approximately $90.4 million when first levied in 2022.
The revenue from this millage will be disbursed to public school academies within the boundaries of the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency which are eligible to receive enhancement millage under the Revised School Code and the following school districts:
Allen Park Public Schools, Crestwood School District, Dearborn City School District, Dearborn Heights School District #7, Detroit Public Schools Community District, Ecorse Public School District, Flat Rock Community Schools, School District of the City of Garden City, Gibraltar School District, Grosse Ile Township Schools, The Grosse Pointe Public School System, Hamtramck Public Schools, City of Harper Woods Schools, School District of the City of Highland Park, Huron School District, School District of the City of Lincoln Park, Livonia Public Schools, Melvindale – Northern Allen Park Schools, Northville Public Schools, Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, Redford Union School District, River Rouge School District, Riverview Community School District, Romulus Community Schools, Southgate Community School District, South Redford School District, Taylor School District, Trenton Public Schools, Van Buren Public Schools, Wayne-Westland Community School District, Westwood Community Schools, Woodhaven-Brownstown School District, Wyandotte City School District Yes No

Print the ballot and the certificate sent with the ballot on paper that is at least 8 ½” x 11” or “A4” in size.
2) Manually mark your ballot: Print the ballot and the certificate sent with the ballot on paper that is at least “8 ½” x 11” or “A4” in size. (This step is not necessary if you received your ballot by fax.) Mark your votes on the printed ballot.
Step 3. Read the certificate sent with the ballot. After reading the certificate, sign and date the certificate where indicated.

Step 5. Fold the ballot to conceal your votes.
Step 6. Place the folded ballot and the signed certificate in an envelope and securely seal the envelope. If you do not enclose the signed certificate with your ballot, your ballot will not be counted.
Step 7. Write your name and return address on the outside of the sealed envelope. Print “OFFICIAL ABSENT VOTER’S BALLOT” beneath your return address. Be sure to enclose the signed certificate in the envelope with your voted ballot.
Step 8. Address the envelope to the clerk, place the necessary postage on the envelope and deposit the envelope in the United States mail or with another public postal service, express mail service, parcel post service, or common carrier. If you are outside the United States, write “USA” below the clerk’s address. Mail your ballot as soon as possible to ensure that it arrives in time to be counted!
The ballot must reach the clerk or an authorized assistant of the clerk no later than 8 p.m. on election day. An absent voter ballot received by the clerk or assistant of the clerk after 8 p.m. on election day will not be counted.
