Voters across the state are in the process of electing a new governor and several other key races.

Voters on Tuesday also will select a secretary of state and attorney general, while choosing between two incumbent justices and two newcomers for the Michigan Supreme Court.

They'll also select new faces for a majority of state Senate seats, and decide the fate of 110 state House seats.

Voters will decide if the state should hold a convention to rewrite the state constitution and if politicians convicted of felonies should be barred from office.

Officials estimate about 3.8 million voters will turn out, 52 percent of Michigan's 7.3 million registered voters.

Polls close at 8 p.m. EDT in most of Michigan, and 8 p.m. CDT in parts of the Upper Peninsula.

7&4 News and UpNorthLive.Com will have complete election coverage.  Brody O'Connell and Andrew Keller will be live in Detroit to join the Gubernatorial candidates at their election night festivities.

Lauren Amstutz will be in Traverse City watching some of the bigger local ballot issues that we've been following all election season.  Marc Schollett and Diana Fairbanks will also break down the races for U.S. Congress, State Senate and State House that will impact Northern Michigan.

You can also find all the latest election results right here on UpNorthLive.Com after the polls close!
