- Michigan begins statewide testing of election equipment ahead of August primary
Michigan is conducting mandatory public testing of voting machines ahead of the August primary to ensure accuracy and security. The testing, starting July 24, allows voters to observe tabulators counting test ballots, with results stored separately from actual election materials. County clerks oversee equipment selection and maintenance, and all elections use paper ballots machine-counted.
