Michiganders around the state will head to the polls on Tuesday to vote on important issues and races.

Here are some of the key storylines:

7 challenging Mike Duggan in Detroit mayoral primary

Seven candidates including the son of iconic former Mayor Coleman A. Young are hoping to unseat incumbent Mike Duggan in Detroit's nonpartisan mayoral primary.

Voters go to the polls Tuesday. Residents also will vote for city councilmembers and city clerk.

Duggan was elected mayor in 2013. He won the primary that year as a write-in candidate. State Sen. Coleman Young II is one of the challengers. Both are Democrats. The top two vote-getters move on to the November general election.

Coleman A. Young was elected in 1973 as Detroit's first black mayor. He decided not to seek re-election in 1993 and died in 1997 after a long illness.

Duggan became the city's first white mayor since 1973. Detroit is more than 80 percent black.

Michigan Primary Election: Polls are open -- here's what to know

Candidates vie for state House seat after lawmaker's suicide

Four Democrats and a Republican are running to serve the remainder of a term in the Michigan House of Representatives after the death of an Upper Peninsula legislator.

Tuesday's special primary will determine who advances to November's general election in the 109th District, which covers four U.P. counties. Former Rep. John Kivela killed himself in May after a drunken driving arrest.

The district leans Democratic.

Democrats running are Sara Cambensy, a Marquette city commissioner; Limestone Township Supervisor Tom Curry; Marquette County Commissioner Joe Derocha; and Jeremy Hosking, a former regional manager for U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow.

The Republican candidate is Rich Rossway, a TV marketing executive who serves on Marquette's Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.

11 Democrats vie in Detroit-area state House primary

Eleven Democrats are vying for a spot in the Michigan House of Representatives that opened up with the resignation of a lawmaker who pleaded guilty in a loan fraud case.

Two Republicans also are running in Tuesday's special primary in the 1st House District, which includes Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe Woods, Grosse Pointe Shores and a portion of Detroit. It's a heavily Democratic seat, so the Democrat who wins will be favored in November's special general election.

Democratic former Rep. Brian Banks resigned just a month into his third term as part of a plea deal.

Candidates running to succeed him include Pamela Sossi, an attorney who finished second to Banks in the 2016 Democratic primary.
