Background information

  • What is the data on this dashboard?

    This dashboard displays voter history data from the Michigan Department of State’s Qualified Voter File (QVF). The QVF is the secure list of voters used by the Michigan Bureau of Elections and more than 1,500 election clerks throughout the state in the administration of elections.

    Absentee and early voting (when available) data is updated daily in the dashboard starting 45 days before an upcoming election. A ballot cast by an early voter in person is updated in the QVF via the Early Voting e-Pollbook at the time the ballot is cast. Absentee ballot data is updated in the QVF by local clerks. Election Day voting data is uploaded by clerks into QVF after Election Day.

    Voter registration data is updated daily in the dashboard, based on changes to the data (e.g., whenever a new voter registers, a voter updates their registration information – such as an address, or a voter's registration is cancelled).

    Because the QVF system is live and changes in real time, metrics may change retroactively when local clerks review, upload, or correct records or when a voter moves residences.

    This dashboard has aggregated totals only. Data values that total 10 or less are displayed as “Less than 10” to protect voter privacy. Specific voter details available through the Freedom of Information Act must be requested through the listed methods on the Transparency and Freedom of Information Act page.

    The data on this dashboard regarding the number of ballots cast comes from voting history data in the QVF that is input by clerks. Counts from voter history data will not match official or unofficial election results which are based on tabulator totals.

    For more information about unofficial results direct from the county’s website, visit Candidate listings and election results by county. You can also view the results of statewide elections on Michigan.gov/Vote.

    Data for elections currently in process is updated through the current date unless otherwise specified. Data pertaining to a historical election is archived 30 days after Election Day and is not updated in the dashboard after that time.
