Before voting in the Michigan primary election, voters can view their sample ballot.
Primary Election Day in Michigan is on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026.
Here’s what to know:
How do I see a sample ballot for the 2026 primary election?
To see your sample ballot for the 2026 August primary election, visit the Michigan Voter Information Center.
Can I vote a “split” ticket in the August primary election?
No. Michigan voters can only vote in one party column and cannot “split” their ticket, meaning to vote in more than one party column, if voting in a presidential or statewide primary.
Voters can “split” their ticket in the November general election. Michigan voters also have the option to vote straight-ticket by selecting the option on the side of their ballot with partisan races. Voting straight ticket does not automatically include selections on the non-partisan side of the ballot.
Do I need to vote the entire ballot?
Michigan voters are not required to vote the entire ballot. You can choose the races or ballot questions you want to vote. Skipping sections on the ballot does not invalidate your ballot.
