Tomorrow is primary election day.
Detroit's primary is getting most of the attention, but there are local elections happening in many areas of the state on Tuesday.
In Flint, voters are choosing among two dozen candidates to fill largely powerless city council seats.
Flint has been under the control of an emergency manager since December of 2011. But while Flint city council members wield little power now, that may soon change.
Flint is taking steps to come out from under state oversight and that could happen late next year, so the Flint city council members elected from the field of Tuesday’s primary candidates may eventually have actual power to shape their city.
Voters are also casting primary ballots in parts of Lansing, Jackson, Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor.
In all, voters in more than 50 Michigan counties will be casting ballots on Tuesday.
In Detroit, the stakes have never been higher because of the bankruptcy.
Detroit Free Press editorial writer Nancy Kaffer joined us today to give us a preview of the election.
Listen to the full interview above.
