Elections
Elections were held on August 2nd. The mayorial race is down to a run-off between the incumbent, Kwame Kilpatrick, and Freman Hendrix, who got the most votes in this initial ballot. The deciding votes will be made on November 8th, 2005.

The City Council incumbents who ran will all be on the run-off for council.

Despite a great deal of outcry when the state of Michigan took over the school board, when control was returned to the city voter over one third of the voters did not cast a ballot for any school board candidate.
