Overview
Michigan's November 3, 2026 ballot is dominated by open seats: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is term-limited, Sen. Gary Peters is retiring, and Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson are also term-limited. All 13 US House districts and both state legislative chambers are up as well. Most nominees will be chosen in Michigan's open primary on August 4, 2026; attorney general and secretary of state candidates are instead nominated at party conventions.

2026 Michigan Elections FAQ
When is the 2026 Michigan primary election?
The 2026 Michigan primary election is on Aug 4, 2026.
When is the 2026 Michigan general election?
The 2026 Michigan general election is on Nov 3, 2026.
What races are on the ballot in Michigan in 2026?
Michigan's November 3, 2026 ballot includes governor and lieutenant governor, an open US Senate seat, all 13 US House districts, attorney general, secretary of state, all 38 state Senate and 110 state House seats, two Michigan Supreme Court seats, and state education and university boards. Governor, US Senate, attorney general, and secretary of state are all open races.
How does Michigan's primary work?
Michigan holds an open primary on August 4, 2026. Voters do not register by party; each voter privately selects one party's ballot and may vote only in that party's contests. There is no runoff, so the highest vote-getter wins the nomination. Attorney general and secretary of state nominees are chosen at party conventions instead of the primary.
Why is the 2026 Michigan Governor race important?
The 2026 Michigan governor's race is an open contest because Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is term-limited. The outcome will decide whether Democrats keep the governorship in a state Donald Trump carried in 2024, and the winner will shape policy in one of the nation's premier battlegrounds. Contested primaries in both parties on August 4 add to the stakes.
