Know the Ballot: Three City Charter Amendments Will be Decided at August Election
Voters will decide on three proposed amendments to the East Lansing City Charter during a stacked Aug. 4 election.
The amendments would pull the charter into alignment with state law regarding procedures following City Council elections, and impose new regulations around the city manager position, if approved by voters.
The amendments were initially formed by a committee the city created to review the City Charter over the course of 19 meetings in 2024 and 2025. These are the first of more than two dozen amendments recommended by the committee to make it to the ballot, with recommendations to be spread out across several elections.
Along with the charter amendments, East Lansing’s Aug. 4 election will feature primary elections for congressional, state and county seats, and four different county tax proposals.
