Government

The county government operates the jail, maintains rural roads, operates local courts, records deeds, mortgages, and vital records, administers public health regulations, and participates with the state in the provision of welfare and other social services. The county board of commissioners controls the budget and has limited authority to make laws or ordinances. In Michigan, most local government functions — police and fire, building and zoning, tax assessment, street maintenance, etc. — are the responsibility of individual cities and townships.

Politics

Alger County was reliably Republican from the beginning through 1928. Since then it has voted for the Democratic nominee 67% (16 of 24) of the time, though it has voted Republican in the last four elections.
