Road work
Lansing neighbors, listen up, your commute this morning could be impacted by road repairs.

Grand River Ave., from Howard Ave. to Wood St., will be reduced to two lanes of traffic, and Saginaw St., from Cleveland St. to Howard St., will have intermittent two-lane closures.
Officials say traffic will be maintained in both directions.

New ballot access platform
The Michigan Department of State is launching a new online program to better accommodate military and overseas voters.
The new system allows overseas active military members to fill out an absentee ballot and send it to their clerk’s office through a secure online portal.
Previously, overseas military members would have to return an absentee ballot through the mail... potentially allowing for increased delays.
The program publicly launches today.
