HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Deputy Elections Clerk Jenna Fager told Hutch Post election workers are able to get advance voters through in a timely manner at this point.
"We've never really had a line," Fager said Wednesday. "It's just been kind of a steady trickle, but we've been over 100 every day, except for the first day and that was 82. We are sitting at 765 right now."
Usually, if advance voting turnout is stronger than usual, that translates to better turnout overall.
"We do have some races, like in USD 308, more races than we would typically have. We've got a lot more interest, like with the school board. I'm going to hope for turnout of 23 to 25%."
That would be relatively strong turnout for an off-year election. There are three ballot questions, as well. One for liquor by the drink and two local questions in The Highlands and in Pretty Prairie.
You can still vote in advance at the Reno County Annex weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and on Monday, Nov. 6 from 8 a.m. to noon, or on Election Day, Nov. 7 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. at your regular polling place.
