With just under four weeks until Michigan’s Primary Election Day, over 1.5 million voters have requested absentee ballots, and more than 178,000 have already submitted their ballots, breaking the previous records set in 2020.
“This is great news for Michigan, and for democracy,” said Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. The current absentee ballot requests total 1,518,665, surpassing the 2020 numbers by 157,833.
Michigan citizens can register to vote online or in person and cast their ballots in person from July 27th to August 4th, or on Election Day, August 6th.
Voters can also track their absentee ballots or find more information at Michigan.gov/Vote.
