Beaver Island township primary election results are reported

1. BI.D and Citizen, “Local Voting Ballots,” Beaver Island Forum, July 6–7, 2012.
   Participants preparing for the August 7 primary discussed the two local ballots and said each displayed seven proposals. This preserves voter-facing preparation and perception, not official ballot language, proposal validity, turnout, or results; county election materials remain authoritative.

2. Jacquel and Marie LaFreniere, “Primary election,” and KathyR, “Primary reminders,” Beaver Island Forum, August 5–6, 2012.
   A voter asked where to view the August primary ballot and another participant supplied the Charlevoix County proof-ballots link; a separate reminder described one-party voting, photo-ID requirements, and 7 a.m.–8 p.m. polling hours. These are voter-information exchanges, not the official canvass or proof of compliance.

3. KathyR, “Primary reminders,” Beaver Island Forum, August 6, 2012.'
   The reminder repeated one-party voting, photo-ID requirements, and 7 a.m.–8 p.m. polling hours. It is a community notice; the county clerk and official election materials outrank it for legal requirements.

4. Richie Gillespie and participants, “FINAL THOUGHTS ON TUESDAY'S ELECTION,” Beaver Island Forum, August 6–7, 2012, topic 5312.
   An incumbent county commissioner used the pre-primary thread to describe his island representation, county committee roles, and campaign concerns about airport, road, and county-facility priorities. Replies also debated the municipal-marina reservation system; the campaign statements and participant ratings are advocacy, not election results or verified performance measures.

7. Beaver Island Forum, “From Cherie Browe-Election Results,” August 9–10, 2012.
   A forum repost attributed to Charlevoix County Clerk Cheryl Potter Browe described delayed certification, a spoiled-ballot notation error, an AV envelope recorded without a ballot, and a math issue, while reporting that the results did not change. This is useful contemporaneous secondary evidence, but the certified county canvass remains authoritative.

8. Brad, “Absentee ballots for the August 7th primary,” Beaver Island Forum, July 31, 2012.
   A local forum notice directed voters who would be away from the island to absentee-ballot applications at the gas station. It documents public election logistics, not ballot issuance, turnout, or election results.

9. Richie Gillespie, “Thank You Charlevoix County Voters!!,” Beaver Island Forum, August 8–11, 2012.
   Gillespie announced that he had enough votes to celebrate continued county representation, while replies congratulated him. This is a candidate's immediate, unofficial result claim; the certified canvass and Beacon report remain authoritative.
