Since 2018, in the state of Michigan, same day registration can be done at the city or town clerk’s office wherever the voter resides. This takes place in an early voting period through Election Day.
For today's East Lansing City Council Election, information on how to register is available at the city clerk's office here.
An individual who applies to register to vote during this period must provide proof of the residency in the city or township to vote a regular ballot. If an individual cannot provide proof of residency, then the ballot is considered a provisional ballot and will be counted unless determined otherwise.
GO VOTE! The city's future is in your hands!
