(WWJ) -- Election Day in Michigan has come to a close and the results are continuing to pour in Wednesday morning.
The polls were open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2, with votes cast in mayoral races, city council elections and a variety of proposals across many metro Detroit communities.
WAYNE COUNTY MAYORAL RACES
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan was elected to a third term, defeating challenger Anthony Adams.
Duggan, who earned more than 72% of the vote in this summer’s primary mayoral election, was leading by a sizable margin just before 10 p.m., when the Associated Press called the race for the incumbent.
A low voter turnout was expected Tuesday, estimated to be at around 15% of the city’s population, which some political analysts said favored Duggan as the incumbent.
