EAST LANSING, Mich. — The East Lansing City Clerk’s office has recently mailed applications for absentee ballots to East Lansing voters for the Nov. 7 election. Absentee ballots will be available beginning Sept. 28.
Absentee ballot applications are printed with pre-paid postage and voters can return their applications by mail or submit them in person at City Hall, 410 Abbot Road. Applications should not be placed in ballot drop boxes.
Voters who did not receive an application for an absentee ballot but would like one may request an application from the City Clerk’s Office, either in person or by phone at (517) 319-6914, or go online to the Michigan Voter Information Center.
Additionally, Proposition 2022-2 ensures Michigan voters the constitutional right to nine days of early voting. Although the law does not go into effect until next year’s presidential primary, the City of East Lansing is piloting an Early Voting Center (EVC) in late October. More details about the EVC are to come.
Voters with questions or concerns regarding ballots or elections in general, should contact the City Clerk’s Office directly. Providing education to voters and clearing up any election misinformation remains a high priority for the City Clerk’s Office. The City Clerk's Office staff are happy to address any questions or concerns voters may have. Voters can contact the City Clerk’s Office at cityclerk@cityofeastlansing.com or (517) 319-6914.
