There is a Special Election on May 6, 2025 for a Central Lake Public Schools Bond Proposal.  Since there are only four (4) registered Kearney Township voters in the Central Lake School District, the Kearney Township Election Commission has decided to consolidate with Echo Township for this Special Election. 

Those voters will need to vote at the Echo Township Hall located at 1720 Six Mile Lake Road between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on May 6^th.   

Voters also have the option to complete an absentee ballot if the voter does not wish to vote in person.  If you would like to vote absentee or if you have any questions, please contact the Kearney or Echo Township Clerk:
