Michigan voters turned out in historic numbers for the 2024 presidential election, according to a new report released by the Michigan Department of State (MDOS).

LANSING, Mich. (WNEM) - Michigan ranked third in the country for eligible voter turnout, and over 60 percent of total votes were cast early or by mail, according to new data released by the Michigan Department of State (MDOS) on the 2024 presidential election.

A new poll has found that Michigan voters remained confident in the state's election system through the 2024 election. The poll was conducted by pollster Richard Czuba, founder of Glengariff Group, from June 1-6.

Pat Zabawa of Rank MI Vote joined the show to discuss why he says ranked choice voting would more accurately reflect the will of Michigan voters.

Petitions that could be coming around our neighborhoods aim to equalize minimum wage for all workers, increase school funding through taxes on high earners, and change how votes are counted.

The Michigan Board of Canvassers approved language and 100-word summary for a proposed constitutional amendment that would bring ranked choice voting to the state. Rank MI Vote must collect 446,198 valid signatures over the next six months to get the amendment on the November 2026 ballot, per a press release.

A campaign hopes Michigan voters will have a chance to adopt a ballot measure in November 2026 to bring ranked choice voting to the state's elections.
