Detroit Officials Prepare Election Day Turnout Update

November 2, 2026 — Detroit election officials planned to provide a mid-morning update on Election Day developments at a press conference scheduled for 11:30 a.m. November 3, 2026, at the Northwest Activities Center. The event was to be streamed live.

City Clerk Janice M. Winfrey said in an earlier update that 25,515 Detroiters had voted during the city’s early voting period. About 68,000 absentee ballots had been tabulated, and officials anticipated counting as many as 80,000 mail-in ballots overall.

Winfrey said the city expected to begin reporting election results between 8:30 and 9 p.m.

Registered Michigan voters can cast ballots at their polling place on Election Day. People who are not registered, or who have not updated their registration to reflect their current address, should register at the clerk’s office serving their area.
