The 2026 Michigan Supreme Court election is scheduled to take place on November 3, 2026, to elect two of seven justices to the Michigan Supreme Court. While the election is officially nonpartisan, candidates are chosen by political parties through conventions.
Under the Michigan Constitution, political parties select their nominees for this election through conventions. In recent election cycles, parties have chosen to hold endorsement conventions earlier in the year under the belief that it would be helpful to give more time for statewide campaigns. At these conventions, candidates are only endorsed and nominations are not finalized until the formal nomination conventions later in the cycle.[1]
Following the 2024 elections, Democrats flipped a seat on the court and increased their majority from 4–3 to 5–2. This majority was increased once more when then-Chief Justice Elizabeth T. Clement announced her retirement in 2025 and was replaced by Noah Hood.[2]
