Nov. 5 General Election, more than
1.15 million Michigan voters –
almost 16 percent of the state’s active
registered voters – have already cast
their ballot, the Secretary of State’s
office said Oct. 22 from Lansing.
A total of 5,100 Michiganders
voted at an in-person early voting
site, including a record-breaking
2,504 voters in Detroit the first week-
end of early voting, and more than
1.14 million Michigan voters have
submitted an absentee ballot to be
tabulated.
The City of Detroit was the first
jurisdiction in the state to start early
voting for the General Election, kick-
ing off on Saturday, Oct. 19.
On that first day, 1,888 Detroit vot-
ers cast a ballot, an almost 10-fold
increase from the 266 Detroit voters
who voted on the first day of early
voting for the Primary Election.
The City of East Lansing and
Canton Township began early voting
on Monday, Oct. 21, with first-day
turnout of 115 (East Lansing) and
981 (Canton Township) voters.
Early voting kicked off statewide
on Oct. 26 for all voters.
As of Oct. 22, a total of 2,268,Michigan citizens have requested
an absentee ballot or received a bal-
lot. So far, 1,147,041 voters have
returned their completed absentee
ballot to be counted – a 51 percent
return rate.
Eligible residents who still need
to register to vote in the General
Election must now do so in person.
Under Michigan law, online and
mail registration is not permitted
within 14 days of an election. Those
registering in person may request,
complete, and submit an absen-
tee ballot in the same visit to their
clerk’s office. Visit Michigan.gov/
Vote for clerk office locations and
hours.
To avoid postal delays, voters with
an absentee ballot should hand deliv-
er the ballot in its signed and sealed
envelope to their local clerk’s office
or secure ballot drop box. Voters can
also bring their absentee ballot to an
early voting site before Election Day.
To cast a ballot in person, voters
can go to an early voting site in their
jurisdiction or to their polling place
on Election Day, Nov. 5, from 7 a.m.
to 8 p.m.Michigan sees record-
breaking early voting
