The election hits crunch time with some of the biggest political players campaigning through MidMichigan for your vote.
Political experts say the fact that several of these races are close is a testimony that both parties aren't taking anything for granted.
Republicans work the phones at the Grand Blanc Mall hoping to rally the base and convince voters to support their candidates.
Same story in Flint with local Democrats.
One of the biggest MidMichigan races is for the 5th congressional district.
Democrat Dale Kildee has held the position since 1976.
"The last time Genesee County went Republican was 1946, and they've always thought they would do it again, but it's not going to be this year," Kildee tells NBC25.
Republican John Kupiec hopes to defeat Kildee.
"Every place we've gone, we've heard voters say, 'I've never voted Republican before,' but they're upset with the way congress has been spending money that we don't have and they're looking to vote for a fresh start."
Republicans say they're having difficulty breaking the tradition of Democratic voting in MidMichigan.
Judy Zabik, Republican candidate for Genesee Co. Treasurer says, "I'm finding that my greatest challenge going into this race is not convincing people that my ideas are sound and make good business sense for our county. I'm having to convince people to split their ticket."
Democrats say, they're not taking anything for granted. Deb Cherry, who's also running for Genesee Co. Treasurer says, "You have to ask the voters for their vote, and that's what it's all about."
In the primary, Michigan Republicans turned out 2 to 1 against Democrats, but November 2nd is the big one.
Polls open at 7am Tuesday and close at 8pm.
