Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson played a pivotal role in overseeing Michigan’s record-breaking early voting turnout for the 2024 General Election. With over 3.2 million votes cast before Election Day, Benson’s leadership ensured the successful implementation of Proposal 2, which expanded early voting and absentee ballot options. Her oversight included ensuring voting sites were fully staffed and accessible, ballots were securely handled, and voters received timely, accurate nonpartisan election information.
Benson also prioritized transparency and communication with voters, launching campaigns to educate Michiganders about their early voting rights and how to cast absentee ballots securely. By October 22, early voting participation had already surpassed previous records, with voters taking advantage of expanded voting hours and options.
Under Benson’s watch, the election process was not only efficient but also secure and free of any scale disruption, helping to alleviate congestion on Election Day and ensuring that every eligible voter could participate. Her proactive measures and leadership continue to strengthen Michigan’s election systems and ensure the integrity of the democratic process.
