In addition to the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Michigan's voters elect two other executive branch officials statewide--the Secretary of State and the Attorney
General. While candidates for the governor's office are chosen in the August
primary election, candidates for the others are nominated at the regular year
between presidential elections (voters cast one vote jointly for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor). An amendment to the constitution adopted by the voters in 1992 limits
these elected executives to two terms (eight years). This limitation applies to
terms if office beginning on or after January 1, 1993.
