Election Information:
November General Election:
The general election in Michigan is an election in which at least two opposite parties that typically involve in competition between candidates are elected to offices. This is in contrast to the primary election, which is used either to narrow the field of candidates for a given elective office or to determine the nominees for political parties in advance of a general election. Generally, candidates for a general election are chosen via a primary election.
Voters may choose from any party during the general election and select the candidate of their choosing, without spoiling their ballot. In other words, crossing party lines will not create an error on the ballot. Research the candidates and GO VOTE!!
