Five candidates are competing for two seats on the Troy School District Board of Education in the Tuesday, Nov. 3, election.
Walt Cook, Mary Gunn, Michele Maleszyk, Beau Taylor and Vital Anne appear on the city’s sample ballot. Voters may select no more than two candidates.
The nonpartisan positions carry six-year terms. Anne is an incumbent, according to the Oakland County Times.
Residents can learn more through a recording of the League of Women Voters Troy Area’s Sept. 24 candidate forum, available through the league’s website. The Oakland County Times’ candidate interview guide also includes interviews with Gunn and Taylor.
The school board contest appears on ballots for voters who live within the Troy School District. Other school districts serving portions of Troy have separate board races, according to the city’s election notice.
Early voting for Troy residents runs Saturday, Oct. 24, through Sunday, Nov. 1, at the Troy Community Center, Room 304/305, 3179 Livernois Road. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except Thursday, Oct. 29, when voting runs noon to 8 p.m., according to the city’s election notice.

After the Oct. 19 deadline for online or mail registration, eligible residents can still register in person with proof of residency at the City Clerk’s Office, 500 W. Big Beaver Road, according to the registration notice.
