Massive Early Voting Turnout in Michigan

Early voting is experiencing unprecedented turnout across Michigan, with over 250,000 voters participating in the first weekend alone, according to Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. More than 145,000 votes were cast on the first day, reflecting a ground-breaking engagement from Michiganders in the upcoming presidential election. As nearly 25% of registered voters in the state have already made their selections, local officials and election workers report long lines and busy early voting sites. Initiatives aimed at encouraging young voter turnout, such as events at the University of Michigan and in Lansing, have further fueled this engagement. Despite the high participation, questions about changing votes and election integrity remain as the election date approaches.
