Nearly 2,000 Detroiters cast ballots during the city's 1st day of in-person early voting

The first day of early in-person voting in the Motor City was a success, according to the Detroit elections chief.

“We were happy to see nearly 2,000 Detroiters exercise their right to vote at one of our 14 Early Vote Centers across the city,” said Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey.

Of that number, residents voted early or turned in absentee ballots.

On Saturday, a free festival, Pistonsland: What Up D.O.E., was held in the midtown section of the city where about 800 city residents exercised their right to vote. The day-long get-out-the-vote event featured basketball courts, a ferris wheel and performances by Lil Baby, Skilla Babby and Tay B.
