The line for voter registration stretches through Grand Rapids City Hall, with an estimated wait time of 40 minutes, on the afternoon of Oct. 30, 2020.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Just days before election day,here was a long line at the Grand Rapids City Clerk’s Office Friday afternoon as people cast absentee ballots.
Many persons there needed to register to vote, but others went to the clerk’s office only to cast their absentee ballot early.
City officials told News 8, the office technically closed at 5 p.m., but anybody who was in line by then was allowed to finish their business. The wait was between 40 and 50 minutes when the line was at its worst in the afternoon.
Because of a change made by voters in Michigan, you can now register to vote and cast your ballot on Election Day, but officials urge you to do it early.
