Term-limited members

Under the Michigan Constitution, members of the state Senate are able to serve only two four-years terms, and members of the House of Representatives are limited to three two-years terms. Michigan has what is considered the toughest term-limits in the country.^[3] After the 2018 mid-term elections, nearly 70 percent of the state Senate and 20 percent of the state House will be forced to leave office because of term-limits.^[4] The following members are prevented by term-limits from seeking re-election to the House in 2018. This list does not include members that are eligible for re-election, but instead to seek other office or voluntarily retire.

General Election

Pending official certification by the Michigan Board of State Canvassers, the following candidates, listed alphabetically, advanced to the November general election.
