The Primary Election broke records The People have spoken

Over 2.5 million Michigan voters participated in Tuesday's election, a record turnout for an August primary.

About two-thirds of voters used an absentee ballot, another record.

Tuesday's vote total was 2,515,882. That's 13% higher than the previous record of 2,2 million set in the 2018 August primary -- and 79% higher than the 1.4 million ballots cast in August 2016.

This week's number also exceeded the 2.3 million ballots cast in the March presidential primary.

The large numbers of voters suggests there will be a huge turnout in November. It is estimated that 6 million ballots will be cast in Michigan. The current record for a November election is 5 million, set in 2008.

In 2018, Michigan voters approved the expansion of absentee ballot to all voters. More than 2 million absentee ballots were requested in this election, and as of late Tuesday, 1.6 million had been returned, although the final number may be higher as counties update their numbers, the Michigan Secretary of State Office said. That's about 65% of total ballots cast.

Two newcomers put forth a good showing in their inaugural elections. Victoria Burton-Harris who ran for Wayne County Prosecutor and Beverly Kindle- Walker who ran for Wayne County Treasurer gave the incumbents a run for their money.

Eric Sabree, Kym Worthy, and Tyrone Carter are a few of the elected officials who do not have a Republican Challenger for the November Election.
