LANSING, MI – With only a few days remaining until Election Day 2024 and voting well underway, the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce (LRCC) is excited to share an Election Primer, courtesy of our partners at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This guide, a trusted resource released every four years, provides LRCC members and extended network with key election dates and essential details on how, when, and where to vote. The Election Primer is available at lansingchamber.org.

The U.S. Chamber issued the following statement:

"There is likely to be record or near-record turnout for this year’s election, which is cause for celebration. Even as many Americans are passionately and deeply divided about the candidates and their policies, we remain a nation that resolves our differences peacefully at the ballot box.

At the same time, the likely closeness of this election and the variation in voting and vote-counting procedures mean we may not know the outcome as quickly as we would like. That’s cause for preparation and patience – but not concern.

We are fortunate to have dedicated local professionals in communities across the nation administering our elections. As is the case in every election, there may be legal challenges related to election processes. This is normal, and we must let legal challenges play out in the appropriate courts, respecting and abiding by their decisions. We encourage all Americans to remain patient and have faith in the checks and balances built into our systems.

When this election is over, we must work together to ensure a peaceful transfer of power and remember that we are all Americans, united by bonds much greater than what divides us.”

The partnership between the LRCC and U.S. Chamber of Commerce provides access to valuable resources like this Election Primer, underscoring the LRCC’s commitment to educating its members and supporting the civic processes that strengthens our business community.
