Benson said the City of Detroit was showing great participation as voting got underway, and Ann Arbor recorded the highest voter turnout in the morning.

She also had a message to voters about how the eyes of a nation are on Michigan.

Benson also reminded voters if you still have an absentee ballot, you can return it to your local clerk's office until 8 p.m. or place it in a designated absentee ballot drop box. If you're still in line when polls close at 8 p.m., you can vote.
