The Secretary of State’s Office shows that more than 2 million Michiganders have voted with several days left of early voting.
That number is more than a quarter of the state’s active registered voters, and officials expect it to rise even further.
“Over 389,000 voted at an in-person early voting site, and more than 1.6 million voters have voted by mail or ballot drop box,” the Michigan Secretary of State shared in a press release.
FOX 17 Ottawa County has seen a large turnout of 10,000 voters at its four early polling locations.
“Saw the parking lot was about as full as a Lions game. So it didn’t was it too hopeful, but gave it a shot,” Garrett Dickey said. *****
Dickey and his wife, Heather, hoped to vote Tuesday at one of Ottawa County’s early polling locations. After being in line for more than 15 minutes, they plan to return another day.
“We were just hoping to, you know, come in and get it done so that we didn’t have to worry about it next week, Tuesday,” Heather Dickey said.
