Tomorrow is Election Day.
Oxford residents, voting precincts were changed this year. To be prepared before tomorrow, please use the tools on this page to ensure you’re headed to the correct polling place. It may be different than the place you voted in November.
If you haven’t already voted, you can drop off your absentee ballot or vote in-person tomorrow. Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.
Local elections are often decided by a small number of votes, and every vote helps shape the future of our community.

Election Update - What You’ll See on Your Ballot
As you prepare to vote in the August 4 election, please be aware that you'll see two separate school-related funding proposals on your ballot. While both would provide funding to Oxford Community Schools if approved, they are different proposals that serve different purposes.
Oxford Community Schools Non-Homestead Operating Millage
Does not increase taxes on primary residences
Supports day-to-day school operations
Restores the current operating millage to 18 mills on non-homestead property and renews for ten years
Operating millages have been part of Michigan’s school funding system since Proposal A in 1994.
Oakland Schools Enhancement Millage
Applies to all taxable property in Oakland County, including primary residences
Funding would be distributed countywide to public schools based on student enrollment.
Oxford Community Schools would receive more funding than taxpayers in our district boundaries would contribute.
These are two separate ballot questions, and voters may vote on each proposal independently.

Dear OHS and OMS Families,
Oxford High School will dismiss early today due to a power outage caused by a downed power line on Ray Road east of Oxford Road. Ray Road is closed in that area, so please avoid traveling that route to or from the school.
Buses will arrive at OHS around 2:00 PM for dismissal. They will then travel to Oxford Middle School to pick up students there and begin afternoon drop-offs. OMS will dismiss at their regular time, and both OHS and OMS students will arrive home approximately 30 minutes early today.
Elementary dismissal times are not affected at this point.
Some afterschool activities may still take place, especially outdoor activities. Coaches and advisors will share updates directly regarding today’s schedules.
Thank you for your understanding,
