How many people voted in the 2024 Michigan primary? Here's voter turnout data for the 2024 race

Washington — CBS News projected President Biden and former President Donald Trump had easy victories in Michigan's Democratic and Republican primaries on Tuesday, leaving little question about who will secure the party's backing heading into the general election in November. But turnout was lower than previous contests, amid concerns about voter apathy in the key battleground state.

More than 1.8 million Michiganders voted in the 2024 Democratic and Republican primary, making up around 22% of registered voters statewide. In the Republican primary, about 1.1 million people voted, while in the less competitive Democratic primary, around 740,000 cast their vote as of results tallied Wednesday morning.
