The question, as printed on the ballot

For the period beginning July 1, 2027 and continuing through June 30, 2033 [or until the expiration of MCL 484.1401] shall Alcona County be authorized to assess a monthly surcharge of up to $3.00 (not to exceed $3.00) on the monthly billings of landline, wireless and VOIP service suppliers within the geographic boundaries of Alcona County to operate the costs of the 911 Emergency Telephone Answering and Dispatch System within Alcona County? This is a renewal of a previous voter approved authorization that will expire June 2027.

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote renews the county's authority to charge up to $3.00 a month on landline, wireless and VoIP bills from July 2027 to June 2033 to operate the 911 system.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the renewal; the current authorization expires in June 2027.
