Grand Rapids opens new ‘Election Central’ office

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The city of Grand Rapids on Monday opened a new office where citizens can get ready to vote.

Election Central is on the second floor of the city building at 201 Market Ave. SW. It will be open noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (except holidays) through March 10.

“We were looking for a location that we could have better access for voters,” City Clerk Joel Hondorp explained the new office in a video produced by the city. “And also with the high volume increase of absentee ballots (since Michigan instituted no-reason absentee voting), we weren’t able to have all those ballots at City Hall in the Clerk’s Office. We were running out of space.”
