The Election Commission would like to notify Sault Tribe members that the 2026 Primary and General Election Ballots will look different than past election ballots. In the past, each unit received a ballot on different colored paper based on the registered unit. The 2026 Election will not have colored paper representing the five voting units; they instead will be white with certain sections of the ballot a different color distinguishing the different units.

The Election Commission understands this is a big change from the past elections, however, with upgrading the election software and hardware, this was a necessary change. We would like to assure the voters that there are multiple security measures that are placed on the ballots to hinder duplicating ballots.
