As MLC’s Communications and Social Media Manager, Liz Gullett keeps clients informed and up-to-date on the goings on in Lansing and the Capitol.

Tuesday’s general election had the highest turnout in state history, marking the third consecutive election cycle of record turnouts.

Key Points:

    • 67 million votes were cast, which is 79% of the electorate.
    • 2 million voters participated through mail-in voting.
    • 2 million voted via in-person early voting.
    • Nearly 22,000 residents registered and voted on election day.
    • There are approximately 6,000 outstanding military and overseas ballots. If they were postmarked yesterday and are received by November 12 they will be counted.
