MI 2024 Primary Election Results: Congress, US Senate Races

MICHIGAN — Polls closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Michigan's 2024 primary elections, and Michiganders determined candidates for several key races this November. Tuesday's ballot included a U.S. Senate race and multiple competitive races for the U.S. House.

Michigan election clerks said turnout appeared to be somewhat lower Tuesday amid a rainy day across much of Michigan. More than 1 million Michiganders took advantage of voting before Election Day, as new legislation requires at least nine days of early voting across the state.

An additional 970,000 completed absentee ballots were returned as of Monday.

Patch will update the results to several key races across Michigan, including the race for U.S. Senate and multiple races for U.S. House of Representatives.

Here are five key races to watch.

U.S. Senate

Representative Elissa Slotkin sought Michigan's Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate against Hill Harper. Republicans Justin Amash, Sherry O'Donnell, Sandy Pensler and Mike Rogers battled for the Republican nomination.

The senate seat became available after longtime Democrat Debbie Stabenow decided not to seek reelection. Stabenow was first elected to the Senate in 2000 and won re-election three times.
