LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Primary elections are best described as an election to decide what choices you will have. The field of candidates will be narrowed down by voting, but also on the ballot will be several notable measures that the public will either pass or reject.

Polls opened at 7:00 a.m. Tuesday and closed at 8:00 p.m. The general election will occur on Nov. 2.
