Early vote in Michigan

Ballots cast so far1,628,714as of Nov 2

Registration leanNo lean shown

Michigan does not report the party of early voters, so there is nothing to compare.

Mail ballots returned: 1,628,714
In-person early votes: Not reported
Mail ballots requested: 2,184,656

Michigan does not report in-person early votes, so this total is a floor, not the whole early vote.

Counts as of November 2, 2026, from civicAPI (opens in a new tab), which collects them from state election offices. Party is the voter’s registration, never how they voted, and many states report none.
