As Michigan gears up for the 2024 elections, the April 23rd filing deadline marks a crucial date for candidates vying for various positions. To secure a spot on the August 6th primary ballot, candidates must submit their filing paperwork by 4pm.
This deadline applies to a range of offices including Court of Appeals, Circuit Court, District Court, and District Probate Court. Additionally, partisan candidates for state House of Representatives, U.S. Congress, and U.S. Senate must also adhere to this deadline. Notably, candidates for probate judge, certain U.S. House of Representatives, and some House candidates are required to file with their county clerk, as opposed to the Bureau of Elections.
To facilitate the process, the Bureau of Elections recommends candidates set up appointments through the Michigan Secretary of State online appointment system.
