Instead, voters participate in Alpena County elections, state elections, and federal elections. The area is part of one or more townships within Alpena County, such as Alcona Township or Green Township, and township elections for supervisor, clerk, treasurer, and trustees occur in even-numbered years during the August primary and November general elections. These township offices exercise authority over local zoning, roads, and services.
