HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jenna Fager with the Reno County election office says many more advance ballots are going out this time than do in a typical election year.
"We're going to be sending out around 8300," Fager said. "Normally, I think in 2016, we sent around a little over 800. That's quite an increase."
Fager said just wait for your ballot to come in the mail if you have applied, but once you have it, vote and get it sent back. You can still apply for an advance ballot until October 27.
"Let's say you aren't comfortable with putting it back into the mail, we will have drop boxes, as well," Fager said. "The one at the Reno County Annex is by the front door there and that will be open 24 hours a day. We will also have one available at the Buhler City Office and at the Nickerson City Office."
The ones at the city offices will only be available when those offices are open. If you choose to drop off your advance ballot instead of mailing, it must be in the box by 7 p.m. on election night. If you mail the ballot, it must have a valid postmark on or before Election Day and be received by the office by the Friday following the election.
