Michigan primary election 2022: Voter guide for Macomb, Oakland, Wayne counties
Welcome to the Detroit Free Press 2022 voter guide for the Aug. 2 primary election.
We’re pleased to offer the candidates’ responses, in their own words, to questions on key issues.
This guide offers information about elections in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties as well as state wide races. Only candidates with competitive party primaries were asked to participate in this edition of the voter guide. For example, we sent questionnaires to the five Republican gubernatorial candidates vying for their party's nomination, but not Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. While her name is in the guide and appears on the Aug. 2 ballot, she does not have a primary opponent, and will advance to the November general election.
Not all candidates chose to respond to the questionnaire — that’s why there are responses for some candidates, and not others.
Candidates for Secretary of State and Attorney General are nominated by their respective parties at conventions. Check back this fall for more information about those races.
Here’s how to use the August primary election voter guide:
Enter your address to see the races and questions that will be on your ballot. We ask for your address so you see only what's on your ballot. Your information will not be used for any other purpose.
Click on a candidate’s photo to see their responses to our questionnaire. The questions and answers are categorized by topic so you can choose the issues you're interested in.
Scroll to the top of the page to look at another candidate. Click "next office" in the upper right corner to move on to the next race.
You can print a list of your selected candidates. You also can use this guide to find your polling location and add voting on Election Day to your calendar.

Citizen Detroit, a civic engagement non-profit, invited candidates to tell voters why they're running for office. The civic engagement nonprofit aims to help voters navigate newly drawn legislative districts by showing the map of each candidate's district and the cities those districts include. Browse through videos on informdetroit.org.
The Free Press, a partner in the project, has included the videos in its 2022 August election voter guide.
