Lansing City Clerk Announce Weekend Hours & Opens South Washington Office to Accept Primary Election Absentee Ballots
If your vacation or work plans take you out of town on Tuesday, August 5, Primary Election Day, add one more item to your travel to do list and make sure that your voice is heard by voting absentee. To make absentee voting easier, Lansing City Clerk Chris Swope has again opened the South Washington Office Complex Election Center to allow one-stop absentee voting until 4 p.m. the day before the election. Please remember to bring approved picture identification to expedite the process.
With free parking and located on CATA route #2, the South Washington Office Complex Election Center, located at 2500 S. Washington and whose most convenient entrance is in the back of the building, is open Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended hours on the following dates and times:
Sunday, July 27 Noon – 4:00 p.m.
Saturday, August 2 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Tuesday, August 5 6 a.m. – 8 p.m. (Drop off completed ballots only)
City of Lansing voters can also come to the City Clerk’s Office on the 9th floor of City Hall during regular business hours to complete the absentee voter application and ballots, too.
Another option is to call the Lansing City Clerk’s Office at 517-483-4131 to have an absentee application mailed or download the form at www.lansingmi.gov/Elections. Applications need to be completed, signed and returned in order to receive a ballot.
Also available at www.lansingmi.gov/Elections are useful links to resources that can help voters make informed decisions and confirm voter information. Voters can preview and print their individual ballots, links to ballot proposal like the CATA and Capital Area District Library millage renewal information, and confirm voter registration and polling location
“My goal is to make the voting process as easy and quick as possible,” said Lansing City Clerk Chris Swope. “By having two locations, weekend hours, and resources on the web, I try to eliminate as many hurdles as allowed by Michigan law to make our elections more accessible.”
