Michigan’s Nov. 5, 2024, general election ballot will feature eight presidential candidates and their running mates. They are:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew from the presidential election in August, but will still appear on Michigan’s ballot. Randall Terry is the Constitution Party’s presidential nominee, but will appear on Michigan’s ballot as the U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan’s presidential nominee. Joseph Kishore is the Socialist Equality Party’s presidential nominee, but will appear on Michigan’s ballot as an independent.

This is the most candidates on Michigan’s presidential ballot since at least 2008. In 2020, Michigan’s ballot had six candidates: Joe Biden (D), Trump, Jo Jorgensen (L), Howie Hawkins (G), and two other minor party candidates. Biden won Michigan that year with 50.6% of the vote, followed by Trump with 47.8%, Jorgensen with 1.1%, and Hawkins with 0.2%. No other candidate received more than 0.1% of the vote.

As of Oct. 25, The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rated the state as a Toss-up. In the last 10 presidential elections, the Democratic candidate has won the state seven times, while the Republican has won three times.

Michigan has 15 electoral votes, the 10th most electoral votes of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Michigan lost one electoral vote following the 2020 census.

Michigan’s general election ballot will feature elections for the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, other state executive offices, and the Michigan House of Representatives, among others.
