Election Day 2024 Live Updates: Detroit Turnout; Macomb Tries to Speed Up Results

Turnout in Detroit

Detroit's Election Day turnout was lower than expected, with only about 20% of registered voters casting ballots by mid-afternoon.

This is a significant decrease from the 2020 election, when 50% of Detroit voters cast ballots.

Election officials are still trying to determine the cause of the low turnout, but they believe it may be due to a combination of factors, including the lack of competitive races at the top of the ticket and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
