Michigan college students form long lines for same-day registration in presidential primary

College-aged voters in Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo and East Lansing formed long lines in local clerks’ offices on Monday and Tuesday, taking advantage of Michigan’s first-ever election with same-day registration.

Emma Walters is registered in Saline, but was in line to change her registration to East Lansing so she could vote where she lives now. She got in line around 4 p.m. and was still waiting at 5 p.m.

Without same-day registration, she said, “I would have had to drive home, and that would have been a lot more difficult."

She plans to cast a ballot for Bernie Sanders, who is vying with Joe Biden and long-shot candidate Tulsi Gabbard in Michigan’s Democratic primary.
