Polling officials said voter turnout at campus precincts was typically low for the East Lansing City Council election Tuesday.
As of 7 p.m., turnout across campus was “low but expected,” said to Christine Van Nada, precinct chair for Shaw Hall’s Precinct 13.
Precinct 1 in Brody Complex had 11 voters, Precinct 13 in Shaw Hall had 6 voters, and Precinct 15 in South Complex had 12 voters before 7 p.m. Voters have until 8 p.m. to cast their ballots.
Precincts 13 and 15 also reported several people showing up to vote who were not registered to vote, or were registered in another precinct.
After polls close, votes will be counted in the East Lansing City Clerk’s office in City Hall, 410 Abbot Road. City Clerk Nicole Evans said the results will be posted at City Hall and on the city’s Web site, www.cityofeastlansing.com.
