Board of State Canvassers' Aug. 28 meeting canceled

After polls closed in Michigan on Election night, Deputy Secretary of State Aghogho Edevbie said local election officials reporting strong voter turnout and fast-moving lines around the state.

With less than 24 hours before the polls open on Election Day, more than 2.3 million Michigan voters have already cast their ballot for the General Election – a turnout rate of 31.2% of the state’s 7.42 million active registered voters.

Secretary of State branch offices will open at 10 a.m. EST on Thursdays starting Nov. 5 to allow staff to participate in weekly training and professional development.

With one week left until General Election Day, Nov. 3, a total of 1,392,170 Michigan voters have already cast their ballot – a turnout rate of 18.8% of all active registered voters in the state.

The Secretary of State office at 3616 US-41 in Mohawk will transition from a one-day-a-week service on Thursdays to Tuesdays starting Nov. 10.

Starting tomorrow, Michigan voters can cast their ballot for the Nov. 3 General Election in person at their early voting site.

Two weeks ahead of Election Day, Nov. 3, more than 780,000 Michigan voters have returned their absentee (mail) ballot or voted at an early voting site, bringing the active registered voter turnout rate to 10.7%.

The Board of State Canvassers regularly scheduled meeting on Oct. 23. 2026 is CANCELED.

County, city, and township election commissions in Michigan have started testing their voting machines to ensure they are working properly in advance of the Nov. 3 General Election.

The Coldwater Secretary of State office will close for one week later this month as it moves back to its original remodeled location, but residents can go online to mi.gov/sos instead for most of their transactions.
