HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Deputy Clerk and election official Jenna Fager reminds us there is an election coming up the first Tuesday in November.
"We've got the Hutchinson Community College Board of Trustees," Fager said. "We've also got the City Council, your local school board will be on the ballot as well. There's a special question that's county-wide. It's for the Reno County Commission districts. It's to expand the board from three members to five members."
If you've moved or haven't yet registered to vote, you need to do so soon.
"The last day to register is coming up Tuesday, October 12," Fager said. "There's a few different ways to register. You can register, of course, in our office at the Reno County Annex in the clerk's office. You can also go to any of your city offices and register. You can go to the Hutchinson Public Library. If you don't feel comfortable going in to any of those locations, you can also go online."
You can register to vote at ksvotes.org. If you need a mail ballot, though, you'll need to ask for one via an advance ballot application.
"You can locate that on our website," Fager said. "You can also go to voteks.org. That's a good way to request an advance ballot. You can actually request those up until October 26. As long as it's in our office by then, we'll mail you out your ballot."
This time around, the office will not be automatically mailing the forms. You have to send it in yourself.
