Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, along with more than 6,500 voters statewide, participated in the Presidential Primary by casting ballots on the inaugural day of in-person early voting.
Benson expressed pride in the turnout, emphasizing the historic significance of Michigan’s first day of early voting. This marks the commencement of nine consecutive days of early voting until Sunday, February 25th.
Benson personally voted at the Northwest Activities Center in Detroit, engaging with City of Detroit Clerk Janice Winfrey, election personnel, and fellow voters. Michigan’s implementation of in-person early voting, mandated by Proposal 2’s passage in 2022, positions it as the 22nd state to offer this electoral option, underscoring the state’s commitment to voter accessibility and engagement.
