Three candidates are on the ballot Tuesday, Nov. 3, for Michigan House District 23, which includes parts of Ann Arbor and communities extending toward South Lyon, Northville and Plymouth, according to Morgan’s official House biography.

Election results are pending. This article will be updated as election officials release vote totals.

State Rep. Jason Morgan, a Democrat from Ann Arbor, is seeking a third term. He faces Republican Miriam Corvino and Green Party candidate Christina Marudas, according to Oakland County’s official candidate list.

Morgan, a former Washtenaw County commissioner, won the seat with about 62% of the vote in 2024, according to state results archived by the University of California, Santa Barbara. The district is described as heavily Democratic. Morgan was the only one of the three candidates who responded to a League of Women Voters voter guide, answering questions about education, the economy, the environment, energy and immigration, according to MLive.

Corvino’s campaign website identifies lower taxes, reduced government spending, skilled trades and parental involvement in education as priorities.

The Green Party of Michigan lists Marudas as its candidate but provides no detailed platform on her profile page. Marudas also ran for the seat in 2024, receiving about 2.5% of the vote, according to the state results.

What’s at stake

The race is one of 110 Michigan House contests on the ballot. Control of the chamber hangs in the balance.

Republicans hold a 58-52 edge in the House, according to Bridge Michigan. House Democrats need a net gain of four seats to reclaim the majority they lost in 2024, the Michigan Advance reported.

House Minority Leader Ranjeev Puri said Democrats are focused on roughly 10 districts they believe are critical to regaining control, Bridge Michigan reported. District 23 was not listed among those targeted swing seats.

When polls close

Polls in District 23 are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday. Anyone in line by 8 p.m. may still vote, according to the Michigan Secretary of State.

Voting information

More than 1.39 million Michigan voters had already cast ballots as of Oct. 27, a turnout rate of 18.8% of all active registered voters, according to the Michigan Secretary of State’s office. More than 1.1 million voted by mail, and over 215,000 cast ballots at early voting sites.

Early in-person voting has ended.

Mail ballots generally must be received by clerks no later than 8 p.m. on election night. The secretary of state’s office urged voters to use a local ballot drop box or hand-deliver ballots to their clerk’s office rather than rely on the mail this close to Election Day.

Voters can track their mail ballot or find their Election Day polling location at Michigan.gov/vote.

Where to find results

Voters can follow returns through the Michigan Secretary of State’s election results page. Washtenaw County returns are also available through the county’s official results directory. Election-night totals are unofficial until canvassing and certification are complete.
