(ANN ARBOR, MI) Local officials across Michigan are highly confident in their ability to administer an accurate election this November, according to a report on election integrity my team published on Aug. 12, 2026. They also voiced concerns about rising disinformation and costs.
“We work very hard at our elections and resent all the negative comments about insecure or fraudulent elections,” one local official said in the report, which details findings from a survey of local officials and clerks who administer elections in Michigan. The officials responding to our survey were granted confidentiality.
