Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, along with more than 6,500 voters across the state, cast a ballot in the Presidential Primary on the first day of in-person early voting.

According to poll book totals, 6,587 voters cast their ballots yesterday at early voting sites around the state. Early voting will be available for a total of nine consecutive days through Sunday, Feb. 25.

This is the first time in Michigan’s history voters have had the option to cast a ballot in person at an early voting site in a statewide election. At least nine days of in-person early voting for statewide and federal elections is now a constitutional requirement following the 2022 passage of Proposal 2.
