Michigan Sees High Turnout in Election

Michigan is witnessing a significant early voter turnout, with over 3.2 million ballots cast, accounting for nearly 44% of active registered voters before Election Day. The introduction of early voting has been embraced, with 1.2 million voters utilizing this option, particularly evident in Detroit where early voting saw a surge in participation. In Kalamazoo County, nearly half of registered voters have already voted, with 43.7% turnout recorded. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that initial unofficial results could begin coming in as early as Tuesday night, streamlining the reporting process due to new legislation allowing early tabulation. Polls across the state are open until 8 p.m. on Election Day, and voters in line by that time will be allowed to cast their ballots. Election Day features high-profile races, including Donald Trump against Kamala Harris and key Congressional contests in Detroit.
