The Michigan Secretary of State election of 2018 took place on November 6,2018,alongside Michigan's governor,Class I United States Senator,Attorney General,as well elections for Michigan's 14 seats in the United States House of Representatives,all 38 seats in the Michigan Senate and all 110 seats in the Michigan House of Representatives;to elect the Secretary of State of Michigan. Incumbent Republican Secretary of State Ruth Johnson could not seek a third term due to term limits. The Michigan Republican Party was looking to win its 7th straight Secretary of State election.

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan were held on November 8,2022,to elect representatives for the thirteen seats in Michigan. The deadline for candidates to file for the August 2 primary was April 19. The congressional makeup prior to the election was seven Democrats and seven Republicans. However,after the 2020 census,Michigan lost one congressional seat. Democrats won a majority of seats in the state for the first time since 2008. This can be partly attributed to the decrease in the number of districts,which resulted in two Republican incumbents –Bill Huizenga and Fred Upton –in the new 4th district. Redistricting also played a part in shifting partisan lean of the districts which favored the Democrats overall,including in the 3rd district,which Democrats were able to flip with a margin of victory of 13 points. That was made possible by a non-partisan citizens' commission drawing the new political boundaries instead of the Michigan legislature after a 2018 ballot proposal was approved.
