Election Day in Michigan: How to vote and what's on the ballot
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Michigan voters headed to the polls to decide the state's next governor, fill an open U.S. Senate seat, and determine control of key legislative chambers.
- State data shows about 33% of active registered voters cast ballots early, including approximately 1.69 million absentee ballots returned statewide before Election Day.
- Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Republican Representative John James compete to succeed term-limited Governor Gretchen Whitmer, while Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers battle for the U.S. Senate seat.
- Voters also decided on two statewide ballot proposals: Proposal 1 asks whether to convene a constitutional convention, while Proposal 2 seeks to prohibit political contributions from regulated utilities and government contractors.
- While polls closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday, results may not be finalized until early Wednesday, November 4, as election officials begin tabulating the large volume of early and in-person ballots.
