BURNHAM — Residents in Burnham will be casting their ballots Friday, June 5 more than two months later than anticipated.

Highlighting the June 5 ballot, to be voted on from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., will be the Burnham townspeople deciding between a three-way race for a position on the select board and whether the town should begin the process of withdrawing from the MSAD 53 school district that also includes the towns of Detroit and Pittsfield. 

More information on the possible withdrawal from the district can be found here.
