Michigan's Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, announced that more than 250,000 voters participated in early voting during the first two statewide early voting days. This turnout far surpassed the expectations of state and local election officials. In addition to in-person early voting, over 1.5 million voters in Michigan have already submitted absentee ballots as of Monday morning.
This election marks the first time Michigan voters have the option to vote at an in-person early voting site, following the passage of a law in 2022 enabling early voting. As a result, there is no historical comparison for the early voting figures in the state.
