In Precinct 12 at the Union, 11 people had voted as of 12:30 p.m..
Volunteers at the precinct, located in the Lake Huron Room on the third floor of the Union, joked that in a past East Lansing election only nine voters showed up, so they had beaten their past record.

Junior Anna Birmingham, a James Madison/Theater double major from East Lansing, said that she decided to vote for city council candidate and MSU student Aaron Stephens after volunteering with him for a Democratic Coordinating Committee during Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign last year.
