Fast millage voting facts
Who can vote in this election?
Every registered voter who lives in the AAPS district.
What if I live in one of the townships outside Ann Arbor?
The election isn’t limited to the city of Ann Arbor. If you live inside the AAPS district (if a child living at your address would normally go to an AAPS school), you can vote in this election.
What if I’m a renter, not a homeowner?
Doesn’t matter. You can vote in the election as long as you are registered to vote at an address inside the AAPS district boundaries.

Vote Yes! Tuesday, May 8th
Support the Ann Arbor Schools Tech Bond
A yes vote prepares students for an ever-changing global future.
Technology is not a luxury. It’s a powerful part of our daily lives. Using computers, having fast, powerful access to the web, and harnessing today’s explosion of information are all a thoroughly integrated part of preparing students for their lives now and into the future. Google, Microsoft and Menlo Innovations are just some of the tech experts working with the district to develop its tech plan.
A yes vote means keeping our schools strong – and excellent.
The use of technology is critical to maintaining – and improving – the quality of education our students receive. Every school will receive upgrades, such as new laptops, mobile devices, printers and document cameras. Many of the district’s computers are so out of date that they don’t support current software. The district’s wireless and network infrastructures will be expanded so high speed access in every building gives teachers and students faster and more powerful access to data.
A yes vote gives us some local financial control over our schools.
The technology bond would raise $46 million over the next 10 years. The cost for homeowners would be about 0.5 mills or $50 per year for a family in a home with a $200,000 market value. The district needs this bond because the dedicated tech dollars from the 2004 bond are now exhausted. A yes vote keeps more money available for preserving teachers and preventing further class size increases.
