^ Patrick H. Kelley was elected congressman at-large. Michigan gained one seat due to reapportionment following the 1910 Census, but Michigan did not redraw its congressional districts until 1913. He was elected from the 6th district in 1914.
^ Charles A. Nichols died April 26, 1920; Clarence J. McLeod was elected to fill the vacancy November 2, 1920.
^ Charles Coles Diggs, Jr., resigned June 3, 1980; George W. Crockett, Jr., was simultaneously elected November 4, 1980 in a special election to fill the remainder of Diggs' term in the 96th Congress and to the 97th Congress.
^ Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick also served in the 15th district.

District boundaries were redrawn in 1993, and 2003 due to reapportionment following the censuses of 1990 and 2000.
