What to expect

Polls close at 8 p.m. Eastern time, and first results are expected soon after. In the 2022 state primaries, the last update of the night was at 3:33 a.m. Eastern time with 83 percent of votes reported.

Voters registered with a party could only vote in that party’s primary, but unaffiliated voters could vote in their primary of choice. (In a long-standing tradition, Democratic primary ballots are red, and Republican ballots are blue.)

The state offered in-person early voting and voting by mail. Voters could return ballots by mail, drop box or in person, as long as they were received by the close of polls.

An option to vote “no preference” appeared on the ballot. In last week’s primary in Michigan, more than 13 percent of Democrats voted “uncommitted” as part of a protest of President Biden’s policies toward Israel and the war in Gaza.

The state primary, which will include races for state and congressional offices, will be held on Sept. 3.
