Michigan in spotlight as polls close across four other states

Voters in Michigan, Virginia, Missouri, Kansas and Washington state headed to the polls for primaries, with Michigan hosting a high‑stakes Democratic Senate contest and several House races. Missouri, Kansas and Virginia feature notable district contests (and Kansas includes a ballot measure on electing Supreme Court justices), while Washington relies on mail ballots. Poll closures are staggered by time zone—7 p.m. ET in Virginia, 8 p.m. ET in Missouri and Kansas, 9 p.m. ET for Michigan and parts of Kansas, and 11 p.m. ET in Washington—with first results expected soon after polls close (though Michigan may take longer for tight races).
