What's on the November 3, 2026 Ballot: An Election Guide for Grand Blanc, Fenton, Linden, Columbiaville & Tyrone Township

Tuesday, November 3, 2026 is Election Day, and every Michigan voter in Grand Blanc, Fenton, Linden, Columbiaville and Tyrone Township will find two statewide proposals on the ballot, while Genesee County voters in Grand Blanc, Fenton and Linden will also weigh a health care millage renewal. Here is a verified, plain-English guide to what is on the ballot, what each question means for homeowners and buyers, and the registration and absentee ballot deadlines that matter before you vote.

Two Statewide Proposals on Every Michigan Ballot

The November 3 ballot was certified in early September 2026 with exactly two statewide questions, both applying to voters across Michigan, including Columbiaville in Lapeer County and Tyrone Township in Livingston County.

Proposal 1, the Constitutional Convention question. This is a required question Michigan voters decide every 16 years (it was last asked in 2010). It asks whether to convene a convention of elected delegates in 2027 for the purpose of drafting a general revision of the state constitution. A "yes" vote starts the convention and revision process; a "no" vote keeps the current constitution. Importantly, even a "yes" does not guarantee change: any revised constitution would still have to pass a separate statewide vote before taking effect.

Proposal 2, the campaign finance initiated law. This proposed law would prohibit campaign contributions from certain regulated utilities, restrict contributions from regulated utilities and major government contractors, and extend campaign finance and disclosure rules to additional types of political communications. It is an initiated statute rather than a constitutional amendment, so it would be enacted by voter approval and could later be changed by the Legislature.

Genesee County: Health Care Services Millage Renewal

In addition to the two statewide proposals, voters in Genesee County (which includes Grand Blanc, Fenton and Linden) will decide a Health Care Services millage renewal on the November 3 ballot. The Genesee County Board of Commissioners approved placing the renewal on the ballot, and the Genesee Health Plan announced it on June 30, 2026.

The renewal is 0.968 mills over seven years. It continues funding for the Genesee Health Plan, which provides basic, affordable health care coverage to Genesee County residents age 19 and older who do not qualify for Medicaid and cannot afford private insurance. Covered services include doctor visits, mental health care, prescriptions, dental, labs, X-rays, mammograms and cancer screenings, along with care navigation.

For homeowners, a millage is a property tax. One mill equals $1 of tax per $1,000 of taxable value, so a 0.968-mill levy works out to roughly $97 per year on a $100,000 taxable value. Whether that is a renewal that continues an existing service or a new cost depends on your property's history and the proposal's exact ballot language, so read the full question on your sample ballot before voting.

No School-District Proposals on the November Ballot

Homebuyers often ask whether a school bond is on the ballot when they are evaluating a district. For November 3, 2026, we found no school-district proposal for Grand Blanc, Fenton, Linden or Hartland (the district serving much of Tyrone Township) on the general-election ballot. The major school ballot items in this region were decided earlier in 2026.

Most notably, Grand Blanc Community Schools' $149 million zero-tax-increase bond was approved by voters on May 5, 2026. It extends the district's existing debt millage rather than raising taxes, and funds a new performing arts center, the Perry Center renovation, early-childhood expansion, 1:1 technology, and a new middle/high school project. Linden Community Schools also had a tax proposal on that May 2026 ballot. Fenton Area Public Schools' most recent large investment was a $122 million bond approved in November 2023.

Why an Election Calendar Matters to Buyers and Sellers

Local ballots are a quiet but real signal for anyone buying or selling a home. Millages directly shape the annual property tax bill on a house, and approved school bonds fund the buildings, technology and programs that support a district's reputation over time. When you are comparing Grand Blanc, Fenton, Linden, Columbiaville and Tyrone Township, knowing what each community has recently voted to invest in tells you something about where its priorities and its property values are heading.

It is also simply good timing: the first week of November is a natural moment to walk a neighborhood, meet neighbors at the polling place or a local event, and get a feel for the community you are considering. Our team lives in these neighborhoods, tracks each school district and its ballot history, and can show you how local investments factor into a home's long-term value.

The Bottom Line for This Election

The November 3, 2026 ballot brings two statewide proposals to every Michigan voter, plus a Genesee County health care millage renewal for Grand Blanc, Fenton and Linden residents.
