Students registered to vote living in south neighborhood’s Case, Wilson, Wonders and Holden Halls can vote at IM West.

Polling locations for precincts 13 and 14 will be housed inside IM East. Students living in Van Hoosen, Owen, McDonel and Holmes Halls will vote in precinct 13, while students living in Akers and Hubbard Halls will vote in precinct 14.

Students registered to vote living in North Neighborhood’s Williams, Mayo, Gilchrist, Yakely, Landon, Campbell, Mason, Abbot, Phillips and Synder Halls can vote at the MSU Union.

Students registered to vote at Brody Neighborhood’s Butterfield, Rather, Bryan, Armstrong, Bailey and Emmons Halls can vote at Brody Hall.

A map of all polling locations in East Lansing, including locations for students living off campus, can be found here. 

Students who have not registered to vote can still do so on Election Day at the East Lansing City Clerk’s office or the Communication Arts and Sciences building, where a satellite clerk’s office will be set up at WKAR Studio B.

Students can register to vote using their Michigan driver’s license or state ID. Students from out-of-state can also register using a government ID and document proving they live in Michigan, such as a screenshot from MSU’s LiveOn website. 

Registering to vote with a Michigan address will not impact students’ financial aid or university residency status.

Polling locations will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, although people will be allowed to vote past 8 p.m. if they get in line before closing time. Students voting later in the day will likely encounter long lines, particularly at Brody Hall where some students waited until midnight to vote in the 2022 midterm election.

Political theory and constitutional democracy senior Aiden Bourgeau, the initiative programming intern at MSU’s nonpartisan voter engagement committee MSUvote, said voting as early as possible on Tuesday will be the best way for students to avoid long queues.

In 2020, 76.6% of eligible MSU students voted on Election Day, according to Tufts University’s National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement. This year, Bourgeau said, the goal is 100%.

"(Voting) is one of the most fundamentally important decisions that we’re allowed to make as citizens of the United States," Bourgeau said. "It is our direct link to creating a government that we want to see."
