Election Resources
All registered voters can vote in primaries in Michigan. The state doesn’t give voters the option to affiliate with a political party, meaning you will have to choose which partisan section of the ballot to fill out: Democratic or Republican. It’s important to vote in only one of those sections. But who you voted for, including the party you selected, remains a secret.
