Absentee Ballot

#EastLansing residents who plan to vote with an absentee ballot in the August 2, 2022 State Primary Election are encouraged to submit their absentee ballot applications as soon as possible online, by mail or by visiting the City Clerk’s Office, 410 Abbot Road. If visiting the office in person, voters can receive and submit their absentee ballot in the same trip! 

Check out the post below  for some helpful Voting Absentee Do's and Don'ts from the Michigan Secretary of State's Office, and visit https://www.cityofeastlansing.com/192/Election-Info or contact the City Clerk’s Office at (517) 319-6914 for additional election information.

Do: Sign the back of the ballot return envelope. Your vote will not be counted without a signature that matches the one on file with your clerk. Do: Mail your ballot by July 18. If mailing rather than hand-delivering your ballot, do so as soon as possible and not within two weeks of the Aug. 2 election. Do: Track your ballot. Visit Michigan.gov/Vote to ensure it was accepted. If it wasn’t, contact your clerk immediately. Do: Know that all valid absentee ballots will be counted by bipartisan pairs of election workers. Don’t: Mail your ballot after July 18. To avoid postal delays, hand-deliver it to your clerk’s office or ballot drop box. Mail your ballot only if absolutely necessary. Don’t: Ask anyone to deliver your ballot for you unless they are immediate family or a member of your household. Vote early with an absentee ballot in person at your city or township clerk’s office up until 4 p.m. the day before the election. Clerks begin counting absentee ballots on Election Day.
