Primary election competitiveness
This section contains data on state legislative primary election competitiveness in Michigan. These totals include data from all regularly-scheduled House and Senate elections. For more information about Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of state legislative elections, please click here.
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Michigan in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 20, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Michigan had 67 contested state legislative primaries in 2024, a 26% decrease from 2020, the most recent cycle to also feature elections for all 110 House seats and no Senate seats.
Twenty-seven of the contested primaries were for Democrats, and 40 were for Republicans. This was down 44% and 7% from 2020, respectively.
Of the 110 seats up for election, eight were open, meaning no incumbent filed.
This was the fewest number of both contested state legislative primaries and open seats in Michigan since tracking began in 2010.
Thirty-five incumbents faced primary challenges in 2024, representing 34% of all incumbents who ran for re-election. The average percentage of incumbents who faced primary challenges from 2010 to 2022 was also 34%.
Of the 35 incumbents in contested primaries, 17 were Democrats and 18 were Republicans. In total, 316 major party candidates—150 Democrats and 166 Republicans—filed to run.
House

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
