Road to 270: Charting out each campaign’s path to the Presidency
If this week plays out anything like 2020 did, then it’s going to be a game of "hurry up and wait" to find out who will be our next Commander-in-Chief. And while the timeline is up in the air, the roadmap is much more clear. With seven battleground states (and one surprising red-turned-purple state) in play, Fox 2’s Roop Raj and Dylan Dulberg break down each campaign’s possible routes to 270 electoral votes.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Haven't registered to vote yet? It's not too late.
Michigan allows same-day registration, meaning that everyone eligible to vote is able to register and cast a ballot on Election Day.
How to register to vote in Michigan
Residents interested in registering to vote on Election Day must do so in person.
To register to vote on Election Day, visit your clerk's office by 8 p.m. Nov. 5. All people in line by 8 p.m. will be allowed to register.

When will we know election results: What to know about Michigan vote counting
When should we expect the 2024 presidential election results in Michigan and across the country? We could find out if Kamala Harris or Donald Trump are elected the next President early Wednesday morning.
How to vote after registering
Newly registered voters have two options for voting on Election Day - they can request and fill out an absentee ballot while at the clerk's office or they can go to their assigned polling place and cast a ballot.
Voters in Ann Arbor, East Lansing, and Grand Rapids have an additional option; they can take their same-day voter registration receipt to an Election Day Vote Center to receive and cast a ballot. These centers differ from polling places, as they are only available for voters registering or changing their address on Election Day.
How to view a sample ballot
All Michigan voters will decide on the next president, along with who will assume Debbie Stabenow’s seat in the U.S. Senate.
Beyond those two races that include everyone, voters will participate in numerous local elections, as well. For instance, residents in Oakland County are deciding on a park mileage that they can preview before voting.
Visit this link and then enter the election (State General - 11/5/2024), your county, your jurisdiction, and your precinct to see the exact ballot you will use to vote.
