On August 7, 2018, Michigan will hold a primary election to select candidates to run for Governor, the U.S. Senate, and House of Representatives.  In addition, races that may not draw as much attention will feature candidates for the State Senate, State House of Representative, judicial posts and city and county positions.

“Voting is the foundation stone for political action.”

Michigan is an open primary state, which means voters do not have to be registered with a political party to cast their ballots. A comprehensive list of candidates can be found at the Secretary of State’s website.

Also available on the website is the Michigan Voter Information Center. There you can view a sample ballot, request and track an absentee ballot, verify your voter registration, find your polling place, contact your local election official, and find answers to frequently asked questions.
