Benson launches dashboard with data on Michigan early and absentee voting
The Michigan secretary of state, alongside partners at the University of Michigan School of Information and the Center for Civic Design, has launched a new online dashboard where voters can access data on early and absentee voting.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced the dashboard’s launch last week in an effort to promote transparency and combat election misinformation.
As of 3 p.m. Monday, 1.02 million absentee ballots have been cast, with current voter turnout at 14.2%.
Data is posted starting 45 days before each Election Day, reporting the number of absentee ballots requested by voters, the number of absentee ballots completed and returned to be tabulated, and the number of ballots cast at early voting sites broken down by county and jurisdiction.
