More than 22,000 absentee ballots to be sent by mail for upcoming Lansing primary election
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — On Thursday, June 26, more than 22,000 absentee ballots will be mailed out to Lansing voters ahead of the primary election.
Lansing voters can also pick up an absentee ballot at Lansing City Hall or the Reo Elections Office, located at 1221 Reo Road, northwest of S. MLK Blvd and Jolley Road.
According to the , on Wednesday, July 30, Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, the Reo Elections Office will be an early voting site. In a similar experience to Election Day, early voters can feed their ballot into the tabulator, but as a reminder, results will not be known by anyone until 8 p.m. on primary day.
'We have more ballots going out on June 27th than number of people who have voted in the City primary in the past,' said Lansing City Clerk Chris Swope in a news release sent to 6 News. 'This could really increase the participation in a traditionally low turnout election which will determine our city leadership.
Voters still have until late July to request a ballot to be mailed to them, but please be aware that the U.S. Post Office states that it can take up to a week for mail to be delivered, said the Lansing City Clerk's Office.
