Voters in Northville, Plymouth and parts of Livonia will pick a new state representative on Tuesday, Nov. 3, in one of the races that could help decide which party controls the Michigan House.
Election results are pending. This article will be updated as election officials release vote totals.
Democrat Lisa McIntyre faces Republican Casey J. Noce in the open 22nd District seat, according to Michigan’s official candidate list. Rep. Matt Koleszar, a Plymouth Democrat, is running for the state Senate rather than seeking House reelection, according to the Detroit Regional Chamber’s 2026 voter guide.
The candidates
McIntyre is treasurer of the Northville Public Schools Board of Education, according to the district’s board roster, and a licensed mental health counselor, according to her campaign biography.
Noce is a teacher, licensed real estate agent and former Adrian Downtown Development Authority member, according to his campaign biography.
What’s at stake
The Chamber’s guide describes District 22 as a competitive suburban district that has leaned Democratic in recent elections.
Statewide, Republicans hold a 58-52 edge in the House, while Democrats hold a 20-18 advantage in the Senate, Bridge Michigan reported. All 110 House seats are on the ballot. The results will determine which party controls the House’s legislative agenda.
How to vote
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday. Any voter in line at their polling place by 8 p.m. will be permitted to cast a ballot, according to the Michigan Secretary of State. Voters can find their polling location at Michigan.gov/Vote.
Return absentee ballots to your clerk’s office or an official drop box in your city or township by 8 p.m., rather than mailing them. Separate deadlines apply to military and overseas ballots. Voters may also personally insert their absentee ballot into a tabulator at their assigned precinct after election workers verify it, according to state absentee-voting guidance.
Eligible residents who have not registered can do so on Election Day at their city or township clerk’s office with proof of residency. Those in line there by 8 p.m. may register and vote, according to state registration guidance.
When to expect results
Michigan permits absentee-ballot processing and tabulation before Election Day, but results cannot be released before polls close at 8 p.m., according to state election-security guidance. State officials emphasize accuracy over speed. County clerk websites will post unofficial results as votes are tallied.
WDIV’s Wayne County results page lists both McIntyre and Noce for the 22nd District and will update with vote totals after polls close. Readers can also follow returns through Wayne County’s official results portal. Initial returns are unofficial and may change as additional ballots are counted.
