Saginaw Chippewa voters representing District 1 will head to the polls May 17 to fill a vacancy created by Ruth Moses' recent resignation.

Nominating petitions will be available March 18 at the Tribal Clerk's Office and are due April 18-which is also the voter registration deadline for the special election.

Tribal Council decided by a 9-0-0 vote on March 12 to conduct the election, according to Public Relations Director Joe Sowmick.
