3.2M Michiganders have already voted

Although Tuesday is officially Election Day, about 3.2 million Michiganders, or approximately 44% of all registered voters in the state, have cast a ballot as of Sunday.

That’s according to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who provided the numbers during a media update Monday from Detroit, calling the state’s first ever early voting period during a presidential election “extremely successful.”

Approved by voters in 2022, the constitutional amendment that created at least nine days of early voting went into effect earlier this year.

Benson said that between the opening of statewide early voting Saturday, Oct. 26, and the final day on Sunday, Nov. 3, over 1.2 million voters came out and cast a ballot at an early voting center.

“Voters’ enthusiasm for early voting was really above and beyond anything we expected throughout the week,” said Benson. “And we consistently saw each day over 100,000 or more folks show up to vote. The highest early voting turnout day was yesterday, Sunday the 3rd, with more than 189,000 voters showing up and casting their ballot.”
