U.P. clerks report successful general election overall

UPPER PENINSULA, Mich. (WZMQ) – County and municipal clerks throughout the Upper Peninsula are reporting a largely successful Election Day.

In some Marquette County precincts, voting lasted until approximately 9 p.m. County Clerk Linda Talsma says the extension was due to large numbers of voters lined up to cast their ballots before polls closed at 8 p.m. Marquette County reported no issues with voting equipment, along with Alger and Houghton Counties.

It was much of the same in Delta County, aside from a 30-minute power outage at the Escanaba City Hall precinct. However, City Clerk Phil DeMay told WZMQ 19 that all voting equipment had enough battery power to keep the polls running, so no one lost their opportunity to vote.

One part of the U.P. many voters were watching throughout the day was Rock River Township, where the clerk and deputy clerk were recently removed from election duty after planning to hand count their ballots. Instead, the election was overseen by Acting Election Clerk Wilma Hill, who told WZMQ 19 it was a “perfect” Election Day.

Overall, clerks spoke about the election in a happy tone. One even said they breathed a sigh of relief as the polls closed for the day.
